    Why do biplanes have the pilot seated in the back seat? If it’s a tail dragged that doesn’t make sense.

    I'm not a pilot but have worked with mechanics for many years... there's no way I'd make that flight without a thorough inspection and takeoff/Landing of runways the kind you would expect to encounter. You're lucky those wheel bearings held together.

    Very nice work! Years ago I bought a half-finished Pitts S-1. The wings had been covered but when I put them on the fuselage, I had to twist them a little to fit them to the I-struts. This made the aluminum leading edge wrinkle. They must have put the leading edge on and covered the wing laying on saw horses and had a little twist. The struts had been made correct and didn't require any shims to get the wings straight when fully assembled. I re-covered the one wing that was the worst. When finished it flew straight and was so fun!

    I worked for a company in Harlingen Tx. for about 10 yrs. and i was in charge of the wing department from fabricating,assembly and dope and fabric department. The aircraft we were building was a huge crop duster based on the old Stearman aircraft. Loved that work. stayed there till they stopped making the aircraft. Very interesting work. Watching you working on these wings brought back a lot of great memories. Emair was a great company to work for. Thanks for sharing.

    This fine plane was the first tail wheel airplane I flew! After I checked out in it, any tail wheeled aircraft , was easy! The first Stearman was N 206 J, and N 73449 . I enjoyed 20 years of flying one. Great experience !
