• 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.

This was a flying Pitts when stripped for refurb in 2016 (Not by me). I have taken it as far as my time allows and it needs a loving home to get it over the finish line!
It was built originally as an S-1 and after a few years a set of Sparcraft wings were built and installed by the original builder.

Located KFCM Flying Cloud, Minneapolis, MN

This Pitts was Flown by Jason Flood competitively.
