• 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.

The fiberglass wing tips used on the Acro II were just too modern looking for me so I built up these bows patterned from a Travel Air Speedwing. The spars were ordered longer than normal to allow for this. The tip ribs were built in place as you can see by the not yet installed gussets. They add about 12" to the wing span which will slow the roll rate, but I'm at the point where more roll rate is no longer a plus .
