• 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.

Well, almost anyway. We're in the process of inspection, and since the airplane flies regularly, we're hoping for good news...

Of course, there is always something...

However, when the inspection is done, any advice on any particular areas to look for issues on an older Skybolt? This one spent the majority of its history in Arizona.

It was originally Phase I in 1986.

It was built by Kenneth J. Jackson and has an IO-360-B4M with inverted fuel/oil and smoke.

Looking forward to joining the Skybolt gang!

Cheers,
Dale
