Because we have some high trees just west of our flying range I had to make 180 degree turn before I could make up some flyingspeed. Just after take off the Stearman raise its nose and I allmost My first try was in the spring on a calm day and what a day! Sorry it took so long time before I wrote a flight report on my Super Stearman.

You do not have to fly at full throttle with a larger engine plus think about those improved hammerheads with more power! Doing so would eliminate some of the lead weight way up front in the cowl. Also, going to a larger engine should not affect the performance adversely as long as the larger prop doesn't hit the ground on landing or takeoff. I suspect that part of the landing problems could be alleviated with a better gear of correct aluminum spec.
Mine has a crack along that side in it from such nose overs. Since the cowl has a relatively large hole in the side for the engine head, there isn't much strength left on that side of cowl to resist loads from poor landings. One of our fields has a slope to it and when landing downhill, it is a particular problem with all that weight out in the cowl to keep it from nosing over. Don't have a problem on take off or in the air, just on landing. I don't particularly like to fly a heavy wing loading type of airplane. This is my first biplane - I this normal on bipe? All the monoplane I'v build is trimmed with symmetrical travel.ĭon: glad you have had good results with yours as

91AC as well and it is indeed a more powerful series of engine than the OS.īy the way, I have been wondering about the travel of the elevator. I don't know how much power the YS 1.20 engine has, but you have to be careful not to overload the Stearman. The Stearman is not a construction which need this oversized engines. But when I saw my Buddy's Stearman with the TT.91 fourstroke I changed my mind. My argument was - Why put lead in the nose, when I can put in a nice engine instead. Regarding the choice of engine - I did by a second hand OS FT160 for the Stearman. I regret a little that I didn't change the balsa block in the rear end to somthing lighter.Īs I wrote in an earlier reply, I have 500 g lead hanging below the engine mounth, plus the quit heavy Dubro damped mounth, which give a total close to the 30 Oz. I agree with Flicka - The best way to reach the right CG is to save weight in the back of the plane.
