• 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 know there has been much talk about the aileron controls on the AD2. The issue being they are located under the floor and having the reverse mechanism.
The AD2 built by the father and son Green's( I believe) had the controls conventional. I'm not sure if they built it this way or was converted later. When the plane was up for sale a few years back I got these pictures from the seller and in the one you can see that the push rods are located on top of the torque tube. The last pic.
