Default RE: biplane choice

Adrain :

I was laughing the whole time I was reading your list of planes you got, how every single one of us misunderstood your question. How I stared at the keyboard trying to think of a way to tell you not to get a bipe without discouraging you. HAHAHA. Oh well !! I got a laugh out of it.
Now that I understand, The Tigermoth and Pup would be great floaters, allot of fun to me, just float down the runway at an idle, Thats what I like. The Stearman and Pitts are great too, with the Pitts you can tare up the sky and have fun. Ive never flown a Stearman, but I believe its a little of both, really aerobatic and can fly slow too. I wouldn't imagine it cant fly as slow as a Tigermoth or Pup though.
Any of the planes you mention or any of the ones we mention would be great.
If you have built planes before, you shouldn't have any trouble building a bipe, just follow the directions and use their recommended CG and incidence of the wings. Some planes require the wings be straight with each other and some require the top wing have a little negative, I think, I cant remember right now, but just follow the plans.
