• 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.

1st flight this past Saturday. Flown it 4 times this week so far. Worked off several of the test cards.
Flying very well with the usual squawks. Needed some work on rigging, need a little more incidence in the stab and a little static system work, otherwise, flew very nicely.
The two owners were very happy fellows. They can't wait for their time in it. Matt has already gone for some time in an S2A, Ken is going soon.
I was honored and pleased to be the test pilot.
