Old vs New
I am considering getting back into biplane flying. My choices are either an old type - Stampe, Jungmann etc, or new type - Christen Eagle, Pitts etc.
Now I know what your going to say "these are completely different types". BUT, my question is how much you are prepared to sacrifice (in u/s time and expense) to own an oldie these days. My ex-Stampe was great, but that was 20 years ago. Now she needs another rebuild, and spares are even rarer than before.
New types offer performance and reliability, availability of spares, and low hours etc. but not the nostalgia.
Decisions, decisions.
Votes please.
