It only takes 2 minutes max to remove the cowling...
I agree with Shubova... The Stearman was not designed by Boeing as a zippy stunt plane like the Pitts. The were a big floating work horse. I want mine to fly as they did in the 40's, slow and predictable. Why are so many people so power crazy ? More folks need to concentrate on learning how to land correctly before they start doing stunts. I've seen many great stunt and 3D pilots who simply cannot land good, and in alot of cases, really suck at it.
Landing is the absolute most important part of this hobby, period.
