• 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.

Steen says the Skybolt empty weight ranges from 980-1280 lbs. Does anyone know of a Skybolt that really weighed that little. I'd love to hear how it was configured/built.

The single-place LSA Skybolt on this forum had an empty weight of either 1030 or 1050. It wasn't intentionally built to be extremely light.

I'm interested in a low-powered and extremely light weight machine and would like to hear about any that have been built that way.
