Hi all,

my dad and I just bought a Starduster Too (the one from Reno, if you follow them)

Looking for tips on learning how to fly it. Anyone got a few educational or interesting stories on their first few hours in a Starduster or similar biplane?

We are both experienced pilots, my dad retired from the airlines and me with ~350 hours, 20 in a tail wheel + some skydives and glider time. The last bird we had was a Quicksilver II-S Sport.

Also, still looking for a qualified instructor in Northern Colorado, if you know anyone, we would be in your debt for a recommendation.

Looking forward to any wisdom you all might have.

Thanks!

Drew
