“It was a fun model to build and I gave it a bit of a twist with the addition of an Ace of Aces Pilot Snoopy. I enjoyed sharing this plane with the grandsons but it wound up going home with them before any real flying was achieved. I have a build thread on Stickandtissue.com, build thread
“My Ryan ST has undergone some drastic changes with much fun. Everything works. I varnished the sticke, carved the prop and even put in a rubber band.” – Richard Adams
