What is a New Stearman rib kit worth ?

Thu Mar 19, 2015 5:09 pm

I have a new Stearman standard rib kit that I'm trying to figure out what it's worth. I'm considering selling it to go to a 4 aileron setup instead. Any idea's ?

I have 31 of these.

Ask Big Sky or other Stearman parts vendors.

I shot big sky an email and since they really don't sell just the ribs in a kit, they didn't really have an answer. I'm still looking

Where'd the kit come from? Dusters? Any paperwork with it?

Either Big Sky Stearman or H.O. Aircraft. I don't have any paperwork on them that I have found yet but both companies produce good stuff as I'm told. The ribs came with an upper and lower wing as part of a N2S-5 project. The project was last worked on by HO aircraft but the previous owner lost interest in the project and turned his attention toward a Cub project he also had.
