I'm going to possibly pull the trigger on this Starduster II that I found, but I'm going to have to bring it home in the back of a U haul, or something similar because it's been sitting for a few years. The wings and horizontal stab are going to have to come off, but engine and prop will stay on. It will come with a second engine. How small of a U haul truck can I get away with to drive it home? How easy is it to pull the horizontal stabs off? I was told that the rudder, then the vertical stab will come off, then the horizontal stab, then the vertical stab and rudder will go back on, but will not be cotter pinned. Is anyone able to send me plans or drawings for the mechanic to be able to pull them off? Thanks from a hopeful future Starduster II owner.

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
