Brazil WS Museum Stearman
This is a picture of me flying in the front seat. I am not a pliot, so I had to ride along. Although, don't tell anybody but the pilot let me "drive" a little.

Had to install the wing cables before assembly of the wings. Used a vise to drill the holes for 0.5mm nylon line.

Some solder wire used on the stabilizers rigging.
I decided to paint and apply decals before assembly. It would be very difficult to do it after the wings and rigging are assembled.
One more picture of painted and "futured" parts.
Now with the decals and stencils. Most of them I had to custom made, in order to reflect the Stearman of WS Aviation Museum I have flown.
