Beautiful aircraft!! Just ordered a set of 1/4 scale RC plans for a 1934 L-17 Staggerwing along with a set of plans for a Russian Yak-3 also 1/4 scale.. Haven't built a model like this in 40+ years but I remember the joys it used to bring to me as a child.
Beautiful... one of the most beautiful old single engine radials around.
I have hundreds of hours in the right seat! I was blessed as a boy to fly with my father in his Staggerwing. Such a glorious aircraft! Sure miss it AND HIM!
How smooth and slick looking are these planes! Amazing that car body design took so long to catch up.
Very nice looking and sounding!!!
And then.., there is the G model. The ultimate Staggerwing. Only twenty of the best were built last.
Now that's a proper plane.
IN 1983 THE UNITED STATES CIVIL AIR PATROL LOCATED IN NEWPORT ME A BEECH 17 THAT HAD BEEN USED DURING IN THE TEXAS WING DURING WW 2
IT NOW RESIDES AT THE BEECH MUSEUM. I WAS THE WING INFORMATION OFFICER THE OWNER WAS ALTON CHECHETTE.
my dad called this plane the Lear jet of the 30s it was fast had retractable landing gear you had to be pretty rich to own one back then
My Dad called it the Learjet of it's day. I grew up flying copilot in my Dad's Staggerwing. Serial number G-20. The very last one built. I miss her...
Love that plane!
Just flipping beautifull!
“The Learjet of the 1930’s”
Both of those Staggerwing models are 40's vintage, the first one shown is a D-17S and was a military ship built during the war, the last one is a G of which only 20 were built all after the war.
Love is in the air :)
Opinion.....staggarwing is sexiest aircraft ever...beech 18 second....or versa vise.
3 dislikes????
There's no pleasing some people!
