Squeegee... I too am hankering to get back to biplanes after enjoying the privilege of flying an old De Havilland for a few years. Like you, I know the cost of flying old aeroplanes which I have to say removed non of the fun I had. However, having come back to flying after doing a few other things for a while, I am enjoying the act of polishing up my rusty skills on one of Mr Pipers aircraft. This has triggered my longing to get more wings around me and whilst pondering this, I remembered going to a fly-in many years ago, arriving just before my friend who had a Stolp Starduster Too. Looking around his aircraft I was very impressed with the look of the machine and made a note of the fact that it was capable of basic aerobatics. I've never forgotten about the Starduster and today I am looking at the possibility of importing one from the US, putting it on the G-Register and flying it on a LAA PTF.
Go to (barnstormers.com) and bring up the search box. Type in "Starduster" and tell me what you think.
