• 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.

Hello All,
I've been looking at Skybolts for some time, but have decided I must seriously consider the Acro II. I'll be buying rather than building. There is a good thread about target wts, gross/acro wts ect on the Acro 1. Could you fill me in on what to look for in a II? Some of the early Skybolts had an issue with too much wt on the tail wheel. Any thing like that on the Acro II? Any fuseloge streches, larger rudder/vertical stab. ect? Is the angle valve 360 too heavy for the II?
I will use it as my retirement toy. And introduce some youngsters to tailwheels and acro. Paul P is not a small guy, so I'm hoping my 6'3" son-in-law will be able fit. I'm 6' 180lbs. and don't want another AC that I'm uncomfortable in.
Thanks,
Daryl
