Hey guys, This is my Dad Zoom climbing his 450 stearman. I bet the fournier could keep up uh?

Very good Sam. I'm not sure the RF4 could keep up in the climb but I'm sure it'd be off the ground way quicker than the Stearman. Looks to take around 20 seconds. Is that right?

One thing I'm sure, if the engine shut off with the RF4 you can have a long glide, with a Stearman not.

we rotated about the numbers, then held it down to midfield before we pulled.

Well Sam,
you´ve grown up around hangars so you´ve heard'em all: "There´s no substitute for horsepower", "Radials don´t leak oil, they only mark their territory", etc etc
Sometimes you just have to acknowledge facts- you can´t have just one aeroplane!
There are for example what- 16 different Fourniers?
