- Mike Port's 450 Stearman biplane restoration after 5 year project. First flight by Addison Pemberton 10/17/2010. Aircraft departed and went through 3.5 hours of total test flying time. Video is highlights of the day.
A very nice aircraft. Healthy sounding engine and love the paint livery.
That has got to be one of the peak experiences of life, flying something you had a hand in bringing to mechanical life. Thanks for posting this video.
That's really cool Mike. Glad to see it flying. The smile on your face says it all.
gotta love a nice three point squeaker, good job
Awesome sounding radial Thanks for sharing. I want a ride. :)
Gorgeous combination. Why white? Beautiful and outstanding paint work. Enjoy!
Awesome video, did a great job bring her back to the sky, well done !!!!!
BEAUTIFUL JOB GUYS!!! I good friend of mine has a Red one with a P&W 450 on it as well.
Beautiful plane sound great nice pain job on it thanks
Maybe its just me but the landing gear looks taller and wider than the stock Boeing Stearman gear, was that done on purpose? I've heard that these stearmans are prone to ground looping with their tall, narrow gear.
Airplanes only ground loop if you let them
it's the famous P&W R-985 engine
Nuttin like 100% more power to cause silly grins. What does she indicate with 1,750 r.p.m. and 26 inchs. Over 100???? .... Thats one "jim Dandy" airplane. Crikey,I just looked in a mirror and Ive turned GREEN.
That a wonderful for you as great flyer as a nice Stearman 450 Navy.
