• 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.



A good mornings activity

I dropped the fuselage off at the powder coat vendor. Then I finally got to meet up with Chopmo and his Bronze Lindy Skybolt at McrGregor airport. Nice. Naturally, I took some close up pics of certain areas..as all we builders tend to do :0). We have had 70+ days of record 100+ deg temperatures here in Texas this year, and Saturday was no different (109)...I had no darn hat and was soon starting to feel the heat after walking around the plane for half an hour. I was even desperate enough to stick a MsDonalds bag on my head :0|. No, I don't have a pic of that....
Many thanks for flying the plane over, Jim. Awesome plane.

I see Jim has Irish/Viking ancestry...
