    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 know I’ve teased this project a little via social media and a few posts here and there. I think I’m ready to start posting about it.

Over the past year and a half I’ve been restoring, with help from my grandfather, this S-2A I bought in April of 2022. 1,800 hours of labor later, we are very close to getting it finished up. How does that phrase go? 90% done and 90% to go.

I’ve attached pictures below of how I got the project and forward to this week. I will certainly be posting more as the airplane is finished, can’t give everything away too soon 😉

I’m getting very excited to get this project done. The S-2A is a dream airplane of mine and I’m excited to finally own a good one.
