I have patterned my PT-17 Stearman after John Hodgson's Stearman N450 SH "0l' Harry" which was restored by Vintage Wings & Wheels & has won many National Awards. You can visit the Vintage Wings & Wheels website at:

My PT-17 87" top wing was designed by Nick Ziroli, Smithtown, NY. I purchased prints from Nick Ziroli Plans on July 30, 2009. I modified them adding ailerons to the top as well as the bottom wing & added a 11.5 inch cowl & wheel pants. I also changed from a Zenoah G-62 which has 4.5 hp to a Desert Aircraft DA-85 engine which has 8.5 hp.
