Someone help me get this Stearman flying!!
GF, looks like your advice was right on, proved by the plane's flight response. It may be a while before I get it in the air again due to the nasty Chicago winter. But, before I go out again, I'll shim the rear mounting holes on the top wing and make some new interplane struts to match the changed angle, might provide the opportunity to fix these into something a bit more easy to use as well.
