• 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.

I'm looking at a project that caught fire it burned pretty bad, wings are gone etc, short of a degree in metallurgy how can we tell if the fuselage tubing is worth trying to save, back of the engine got it as well the access case got pretty hot. The only reason I'm even remotely thinking about it is because it's an s-2E. turtle deck back still has the fabric on it, it very sad to see this nice airplane damaged. Give me some info please, prefer the experienced guys like mr kimball to chime in. Thanks in advance, Mark 570-449-2740
