• 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, the replies to my thread about communications in an open cockpit were very helpful - problem not solved but I'm headed in the right direction.


I have another question. The gear on myAcro II(I did not build it) has the springs for shock absorption. I don't care for the feel it gives me on landing - it feels pretty spongy and frequently gives me a longitudinal kind of rolling action on rollout. I like a little stiffer gear. I've noticed on a lot of pictures that a number of airplanes have bungies instead. Anybody flown both, and how do the 2 systems compare? And, is it an easy change to go to bungies?
