• 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.

Drove over to Ruston, LA to visit with Mike(maddog)Smith today. He recently started a Piet but we go back a lot farther. Another builders shop always provides some interesting stuff.

His Piet is going to have a welded tube fuselage but hanging from the ceiling is an all wood fuselage with woven cane seats which are pretty cool. Like most builders he worries if his tube fits are good enough. They are. And he has a bench top mill that he says I can use. WooHoo!
