I have just recently returned to flying. I got tired of flying 172's. I have decided to build or purchase a biplane (golden ara style) I have bought Ragwing II plans. I think this is a long term goal. I have been looking a buying a project near completion or that has not flown for a while. I have good skills and am not afraid to repair an injured bird. The big question is: What should I be looking at. I am tall, 6" 4". I would like a 2 place. I want a Stearman, but have to be realistic, that it is out of my price range. Looking a ASII's, Skybolt, and Starduster. I have some experience with tail wheel. (170 and Cubs) The is a Citabria that I can get some more time on. I was wondering about the Marquart Charger. I don't see much info on it. I am mostly a Sunday flier and would be interested in some VERY mild aerobatics. Any commmets would be appreciated.
