• 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.

Ok guys working on my aerobatic sight now that I can fit the bird in the hanger with one installed. So, having never flown a contest or been judged from the the ground here’s a question. I’ve talked to a bunch of people and read a lot preparing. Being a non “round wing” airplane I’ve heard the upline may be flown not exactly vertical with the airplanes “level line” or, the aircraft longeron flight level may not be vertical level and the plane should be judged by the chord line of the wing. Is this just theory? Will the airplane present vertical when the chord line is flown vertical? So, should I build my sight set to the chord line of the wing, and then make adjustments with ground critiquing? And...... for bonus points, what am I building the sight out of ;)
