That panel…. a work of art!

Must be hard to get your eyes outside the cockpit with that panel front and center.

Beautiful.
I never really missed a plane I had sold for one reason or another until I sold the Navy N3N-3 . Definitely miss her, sellers remorse.

I finally got a chance to fly my Stearman. My last flight was October 1. Man that thing is still a blast to fly.

It's collected quite a bit of bird droppings. Group hangars with large doors at both ends are a bird magnet.

I haven't flown my airplane this year. First for PNW weather, then for it's annual. When I went to test fly it, the alternator wasn't working so I had a ground abort. My IA couldn't repair it, so I ordered a new one from QAA.

Over two months later, I'm still waiting for a Skytronics-built 6555T Jasco alternator to be manufactured. I call once a week and get some new story, everything from you're next, to we've had customers on BO since January.

I've tried to find one here, but nobody has a yellow tag to go with their hardware. The Stearman Restorers Association forum is worthless because hardly anybody frequents the website - I don't even get a response. I'm not on Facebook.

Super frustrated. My 'chutes are repacked and sitting in my garage with the clock ticking on their 180 days.

This 1942 Boeing is the newest airplane I've ever owned, so I'm well accustomed to the trials and tribulations of antique airplane ownership, but this is just stupid.

Thanks for letting me vent.

It's a shame but you're right, that website has cobwebs.

I banged up my right aileron on October 1 last year putting my plane back in the hangar, dope slap!!! By the time it was fixed, flying season was over for me in open cockpits. I've flown the Stearman when the temps are in the low 40's. No matter how many layers of clothes, heated vests, gloves, etc. I put on, it's just miserable. We've had good weather this spring but I've just been too busy so it was a full 8 months without flying the Stearman. I forgot how much I loved flying it.

I got a couple hours in the UMF Friday and did some air work and a bunch of T&G’s. Felt great to knock some rust off. The winds howled the rest of the weekend so no flying but the plane is as ready for a concours inspection as it will ever be… :pilot:

Plane flew from Virginia to Florida for some minor work before the trek to California. Someone caught it in flight:

Some great weather in Pa today. Took a friend up for his first Model 12 experience.

I love my B, but that Model 12 is really something else, lol

Nothing else torque rolls like it. Was a hoot!

One of the things about round motor planes is they are hard to keep clean! Not only do you have a lot of bug killing parts hanging in the wind but there is a little fog of oil floating by as you taxi and fly. Luckily, for me at least, rubbing on my plane is about as satisfying as looking at it, though not quite as much as flying.

Over the last few weekends I've been getting ready to attend the American Waco Club fly in at C77 and so it's as clean as its ever been. A 200 rpm mag drop on the L mag on Saturday prompted the cowl removal - which for me also means the prop has to come off - to get at the rear plugs. Just the excuse to detail the engine!
