NPOV ??[edit]

Most of the wikipage reads like a gee-whiz novel. Would it be possible for somebody who is somewhat familiar with this one-of-a-kind aircraft to discuss its specifications, history and impact on subsequent designs - but in a dispassionate tone? Thanks in advance. Raymondwinn (talk) 23:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorceress no longer "the most successful racing biplane in history."[edit]

As of September, 2012, Tom Aberle's Phantom is the most-successful biplane in race history, notching its eighth Reno Gold win. Note that Aberle has eight Biplane Gold wins, seven of them in Phantom and one in 1987, in his earlier biplane, Long Gone Mong. Phantom's other Gold victory (2005) was in the hands of Aberle's earlier partner, Andrew Buehler. 98.222.107.212 (talk) 22:31, 6 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.107.212 (talk) 22:29, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
