Hey Guys,
I just joined. I just purchased a Starduster II through ebay. It's not a done deal yet. I was the second runner up, but I guess the guy who won it changed his mind. I hope it works out. I'll know in a few days.
I built a Starduster I back in the early to mid 1980s. I also had a Steen Skybolt for a while.
I have always loved the Starduster II.
I plan on changing the engine. It has a Continental 125hp six cylinder. I want to mount a radial. Any suggestions as to which engine might be best? I have an R985 and an R975. I think they are too powerful for the Starduster (450hp).
I am also building an 82% scale F4U Corsair replica. That is what the R985 is for. Check it out www.Corsair82.com
I hope to have the Starduster this week and may fly it up to Oshkosh. I'll be there even if I don't fly the Starduster.
