Forgive the basics here, just starting my research.
I understand that many BT-13's lost their lives after the war to donate their 985 to the Stearman dusters. Is this the genisis of the 450 Stearman, or is it a factory/millitary supported sub type?
Aside from the engine swap, what other mods constitute a "legitimate" (if there is one) 450 conversion? I suspect the 4 aileron mod is separate and distinct from the 450 mod?
What is the certification category for the 450 (or 220, for that matter) - do they carry a TC, or are they E-Exhibition like most other warbirds?
Many thanks
