• 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 sad day for a Pitts

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I went to the Airport only to find our Pitts sitting in the hangar with a hole in its upper wing ... I think because of the storms that were going on the last days one of the lamps fell of the hangar roof and hit the wing 😖

So what is the correct approach to repair a hole like this ? At first sight the rib isnt damaged but I will have a closer look today ...
