	The Stearman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Not long thereafter, Stearman went out on his own and in a few years was selling a fair number of commercial mail airplanes and a few private models, the best known being the C3-R Business Speedster.
		Stearman Aircraft became part of a group which included Boeing, Pratt and Whitney and United Air Lines.
		A similar model was chosen by the Army, thus the Stearman became established as the primary trainer for the US military.

		The name "Stearman" is so widely known that it has become the generic name for almost all currently flown biplanes.
		The famed Stearman Model 75 has its roots in the earlier Model 70, which was chosen in 1934 as the U.S. Navy's primary trainer.

		Stearman casually tossed out the observation that the meat of such animals, such as a porcupine, is quite tasty.

	The Boeing Stearman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Of course, money is necessary to purchase the parts and materials required to maintain the aircraft, so the Stearman Group also participates in many fund-raising activities through the course of each year, including bingos, special events, air show souvenir sales and passenger rides.
		The Stearman is a challenging aircraft to fly, despite being classified as a “primary trainer”.
		As it is difficult to see over the nose of the Stearman from the back seat where the pilot sits, S-taxiing is required to ensure that she doesn’t hit anything on the way to the runway.

		The Stearman rides were $55 per person, and since there is only one cockpit available for passengers, the ride is limited to one person or two really good friends at a time.
		For me, riding in the Stearman is on the other end of the pleasure spectrum of paddling a canoe in the silent realm of the Boundary Area of northern Minnesota.

	FlightSim.Com Review: FS2000 Boeing Stearman PT-13 Kaydet
		The Boeing Stearman is a taildragger, with no front view at all, therefore I switch on the spot plane view to taxi, or the full view, to avoid that FS2K aircraft settings and real weather conditions sweep me from the runway.
		The flight dynamics for the Boeing Stearman are made by David Eckert, maker of the aircraft, with reference to a real-life flight in a Boeing Stearman.
		The Boeing Stearman is a charming aircraft, because of the entire lack of speed, because of the basic flight environment and, last but not least, because of the beautiful modelling David Eckert and J.L. Stubbs did on both the aircraft and the panel.

	Boeing Stearman PT-17 Kaydet - The Collings Foundation
		The PT-17 traces its roots to the Stearman Model 70, built as a private venture to meet a 1934 U.S. Army Air Corps request for a new trainer to replace its aging primary trainer fleet.
		Although built by Boeing, the Model 75 continued to be known as the "Stearman".
		Demand for the Stearman at the outbreak of World War II outstripped engine supply, so another powerplant, the Jacobs R-755-7, was used on the airframe to create the PT-18.

	Model Airplane News: Reviews - KYOSHO SUPER STEARMAN 40 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Super Stearman is superbly crafted and, in my opinion, represents the end result of many years of all-wood ARF "evolution." And this 50-inch-wingspan biplane does have the bottom-line numbers to back up my bold contention; that is, a light wing loading of 18.47 ounces per square foot.
		This was yet another pleasant surprise that the Super Stearman sprang on me, and it’s one of the factors that adds up to the 5.75-pound flying weight and light wing loading.
		Because of its bright red-and-white scheme, the Stearman is quite easy to see on the down, base and final legs of a landing approach.

		By the 1970s, the Stearmans were nearly gone from agricultural flying, replaced by AgCats and others.
		But a Stearman, they belong down there, roaring along over the treetops and introducing everyone to the joys of two wings and an open cockpit.

	Andover Flight Academy > Stearman
		Since the advent of purpose-designed ag-aircraft, almost all of the old Stearmans have been retired from cropdusting and many have been lovingly restored back to military or colorful civilian dress.
		Andover Flight acquired its Stearman in the fall of 2004 as a partially completed project after many months of looking at a number of current aircraft for sale.
		We offer dual instruction in the Stearman to anyone wishing to experience the thrill of an open cockpit biplane, although a tailwheel endorsement is prerequisite for takeoffs and landings.

	Boeing-Stearman PT-17 Kaydet WWII trainer
		In North America the Stearman Kaydet retains an aura of nostalgia which Britts equate with such aircraft as the Avro 504 and Tutor, and de Havilland Tiger Moth, or Germans with the Bucker trainers.
		The Stearman Aircraft Company was established by Lloyd Stearman at Venice, California in 1926, but was soon relocated to Wichita, Kansas.
		In the meantime, Stearman, himself, had gone back to California to serve as president of Lockheed while designers at Boeing/Wichita, working under the direction of chief engineer Harold Zipp, continued to make modifications and develop newer versions that resulted in the prototype of the familiar biplanes that we knew in World War IT.

		Stearman designed the Model 70 as a primary trainer for both Army and Navy requirements.
		Although Boeing had taken over Stearman Aircraft in 1936, and was responsible for the preponderance of production, many pilots and enthusiasts to the present day refer to the type as a "Stearman." The Model 75s served almost exclusively in military primary training schools during their initial service.
		The "Stearman" remains one of the most highly regarded antique aircraft by collectors.

		But whatever you called it, the stable and forgiving "Stearman" was an important part of American aviation primary training, and became a fond part of many U.S. aviator's memories.

	Great Planes Super Stearman 1.20 ARF Product Review
		The Stearman "Kaydet" was designed around 1925, and it was destined to become the Army Air Forces principal Primary trainer before and during WWII.
		After the war, many of the ex-military Stearmans were converted to airshow use and, of course, the airshow pilots wanted more performance.
		The approach and landing was typical of what you expect from a high drag biplane: The Stearman requires approximately 1/4 open throttle to maintain good airspeed on landing approaches, cutting throttle to full idle just prior to touchdown.

	Stearman 450 hp Profile
		Originally born with a puny 220 hp, W-670 Continental radial in the nose, when the airplane is given a noseectomy and an R-985 Pratt and Whitney with 450 fire-breathing horses is grafted on, the airplane develops an entirely different personality.
		The Stearmans were ideal for crop dusting, although underpowered, but the Vultees were not good for much of anything.
		Not only are the forces lighter (a stock Stearman is a “manly” airplane), but the roll rate is such that, although it’s not a Pitts or Extra, it lets the acrobat do point rolls or anything else around the longitudinal axis with no danger of separating a rotator cup.

	Warbird Alley: Boeing/Stearman PT-17 N2S PT-13 Kaydet
		Built as a private venture by the Stearman Aircraft Company of Wichita (bought by Boeing in 1934), this two-seat biplane was of mixed construction.
		(Some Stearman owners claim this name resulted specifically from the Stearman's allegedly challenging ground-handling characteristics, but most WWII veterans contend that the nickname was more of a generic reference to the dangerous nature of primary flight training, an endeavor in which the Stearman obviously played a major role.
		The history and uses of the legendary Stearman biplanes are covered in full in chapters on development, military trainer use, crop dusting use, aircraft restoration, and aerobatics use.
