• 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.

I took a long look at two different models, ran a few numbers for a reality check and have finally settled on a Skybolt. Found a project with a welded up fuselage on wheels, tail feathers, wing hardware and have ordered a wing kit from Steen! I'll be picking up the project next month and should have the rib kit shortly afterward.

Now to start finding some tools and build a taller version of the EAA workbench. I have zero woodworking hand or power tools. Well, a hand drill and a pancake air compressor:D.

Looking forward to making some parts soon!
