Design and development
The Acroduster Too is a scaled down version of the Stolp Starduster Too.{{cite book|title=The complete book of cockpits|author=Don Dwiggins}} It was originally named the Schrack-Stolp Super Starduster Too.{{cite journal|journal=The Plane & Pilot International Aircraft Directory Plane & Pilot Magazine|author=Steve Werner|year=1995}} Much of the redesign of the SA-300 was done by TWA pilot Morgan Schrack.{{cite journal|title=Boom in Two-Place Baby Biplanes|journal=Plane and Pilot|date=August 1973}}
The aerobatic aircraft is described as having a sharp stall, and ability to keep wings level using rudder alone. The Acroduster has shorter span and length, has larger ailerons than the Starduster Too, and has a stronger tail.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}}
The aircraft is constructed with fabric covered 4130 steel tube structure and spruce wing spars. Ribs are plywood with cap strips.
