I prefer the Stampe. I flew a Stearman once and it was OK but not very agile (big, heavy, ponderous, like a Waco I flew in Florida). The Stampe almost rivals the Chippy for 'nice to fly'. I once flew a Jungmann, but not long enough to get to know it; that was very nice to fly.

The only other biplane I've flown is an Acrosport that I was considering buying a share in many many years ago. I remember that as very agile but lacking grace and with strangley 'dead feeling' controls; it darted around everywhere like a hyper mad kitten, going just where you pointed it!
