Again...it really all gets back to design, intent, and build....and, of course, the pilot.
Exactly.

It's not the fact that it's a biplane, rather what or how it was designed, that determines how it will behave.

The Aeromaster is a "stable" great flying plane, and it's a Biplane...



It's not fair to compare a straight winger to a high dihedral trainer... the two were designed for different purposes.

While it may be useful to the newbie, the tendancy to return to upright level flight is something is not as big of a deal for a second or third plane.
