The Stearman now has the original OS .90 4-stroke. Once it is airborne it goes too fast and I cruise at less than full throttle. Maybe I should put in my OS 1.20 4-stroke or better,yet, my OS 1.08 2-stroke? Had the Dave Platt Jungmeister bipe that really flew well with the OS 1.08. It was no where near the wing loading of the Stearman.

Maybe the secret is to fly the leaded Stearman at full throttle from takeoff through cruise and then dive for the runway when landing, hoping not to stall and hoping not to run out of runway?
The 1.08 would give me some extra zip while taking off and turning and also, probably need to go out farther on the approach, keeping the speed up to avoid stalling while making the final turn. I still think the designer could have done better with this kit! Worse flying design in my stable.
