Haven't read to the end yet, but thanks Dick for you reply. I knew what you meant by " bite your tong" but it was good to hear it from you. You can only review the plane that YOU receive. Perhaps the manufacturers send you "blueprinted kits", i don't know. DO you think they hand pick the ones reviewers get? Anyway, biplanes are aerodynamic bricks by nature and most glide like a well trimmed coke machine. So, yea, your going to bring then in a little hotter than your mono plane. My guess is, the pilot who was told to think twice about it was having his skills reviewed not the GP PITTS. Love those bipes. I have the cermark pitts with a saito 180 ( lots of mods, but easier to hall around). L'll get down now but thanks again Dick and keep reviewing, lots of us will keep reading.
