I found the Stearman to be a bit of a bus. Big, heavy, honest, but not really all that nice to fly (but better than a Tiger). I once flew a Waco biplane in Florida and found it very similar to the Stearman.
The aeroplane that the Tiger Moth should have been is the Stampe. They look similar, but the Tiger has truly awful handling and un-harmonised controls. The Stampe is a delight. Not as much of a delight as the Chipmunk, but then, what is?
