• 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.

Huge milestone for me today; finally got the engine hung. I bought this project almost 2 years ago, got it home and discovered the fabric had to be redone due to a bad double cover job. I removed the fuselage and wing fabric and re-double covered everything with Airtech. I got the wings and fuselage together and have been working on it while waiting for the prop and engine. The Mt prop arrived several months ago and the engine just arrived a couple weeks ago.
Now I have the hard 80% to go trying to figure out all the fuel, oil, electrical connections, avionics, etc and just finishing up, although I don't think I'll ever be "finished".
Thanks to all who have answered questions in the past, and I'm sure I will have 1001 questions as I get this project ready for inspection.
