• 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.



How fun is a Stearman?

Whats up guys?
Thinking about something different. I have my Eagle sold and have my eye on a couple of things. One is another high performance acro plane and the other is a fully restored stock 225 HP Stearman. First I just like doing basic acro and taking my son and friends for rides. Just trying to decide if a Stearman will be fun for a long time or get boring real quick? What do you guys that have flown them think? I may fly one tomorrow if weather is ok? If I get a Stearman the Eagle and Cub will both go. If I get the other 2 seat acro plane I can afford to keep the Cub also. Decisions, Decisions...
I have heard from a few guys the fun factor of the Stearman just does not get better. Those guys have never flown a Pitts either.
