Default Opinions?

Was just looking over some old brochures, and got to thinking about the
Starduster line of biplanes. Anyone have experiences with them? In
particular the Acroduster or Super Starduster models.

Also, as a fan of aviation history, as well as the newer sport designs, I'm
curious which of the two is more satisfying or fun to own for you, a
historic model, or a modern sport plane, and why? If you could build a
perfect working copy of any biplane through history, which would it be, and
for what reasons? What influences you when choosing a modern version, what
makes you pass one by for the next one down the line?

Finally, what are some of the features of modern "kit" planes, that make
them worthwhile to build? What is it that makes us want to spend many of
our weekends in a garage with a set of tools, building our very own wings?
What are some of the best out there in kit form? What makes a kit a "dud"
in your book?

Thanks in advance.
