The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome.

The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Why become a Subscribing Member?

In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).

Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I do know that Lexan melts at a lower temperature than Arcrylic.

The front windscreen on my plane takes a beating. I have made new ones several times over the years. I decided to use Lexan this time. I always heat them to set a curve before installing. I don’t know exactly what temperature it melted at, but it was good about 2 minutes prior to these photos.
