    • 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.

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.
