 While I'm busy getting into my new job, I wanted to share a photo of a Stearman I made in the sand while on vacation in Hawaii (as you can see, it's not to scale). Time ran short as I built it too close to the quickly rising tide. One thing I learned is that building a biplane in the sand is tricky. Another thing I learned is that building a prop in the sand is darn near impossible. Brian built something a little more permanent with graffiti, Hawaii style. He spelled out STEARMAN with coral on a lava rock cliff. Yes, we admit it. We are hopeless stearmaholics. Any 12 steps to offer?
