• 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. 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.

    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. 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.

In my S-1C, I'm completely stumped on this maneuver. Using a long straight road I cross perpendicular at 160 indicated and pull to a vertical using the site device. As the speed decays and the string starts to dance, I kick close to full left rudder, almost full right stick and then full forward stick. The nose comes around nicely to a vertical downline but always about 20° left of the road, (off heading). I’ve tried every combination of more or less inputs with no success. Any ideas appreciated.
