I have a Midwest Stearman that flies like a "heavy" Gee Bee, not worth a hoot! it weighs 15 lbs. and has a calculated wing loading of 33oz/sq. ft. It is so easy to stall when in a landing approach that I wish it would break into a thousand pieces. Unfortunately, I have been able to minimize damage by saving it too many times after stall. I also have Adrian Page's .25 Gee Bee framed up which I suspect is gong to handle a lot better because of its light wing loading! Isn't wing loading a major factor in "easy" flying characteristics. I think a major factor![sm=drowning.gif]

Now attached is a real airplane
