• 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 "left handed" Pitts ?.

As a left hander I often wonder if I might be more comfortable flying my S1 left hand on the stick, right hand on the throttle.

Obviously this would require the Throttle (and probably Mixture / Aux air) to change sides in the cockpit.

Has this been done before ?. I can see that some welding would be required for the throttle pivot and some control cable mounting brackets - but otherwise it does not look too complicated. Or am I missing something ?.
