Bish,
A Stearman! Oh man, that's sweet! Having grown up around airplanes, I'm pretty familiar with most of them. Especially the dream machines like Stearmans, Waco's, and of course the Warbirds of various design. The Corsair (sp?) was always my favorite. You should fly your Stearman down to Jasper (JZP) sometime. Dad keeps his Luscombes there (he's a true taildragger pilot) and can be found there on most occasions.
I do believe the 195 has the crosswind gear. I agree that somebody was smoking something when they came up with that idea.
