• 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.

Mike -


Pardon my (usual)procrastination. Here's the W&B data that came with the sparse documentation when I bought my airplane:


E.W. = L.G. 599, R.G. 593, Tail 97 = 1289 lbs.
Datum Line: Tip of Prop Spinner
Datum to C/L ofL.G. : 68.75 inches
Datum to Bottom Wing LE: 87.125 inches
Tail Wheel to L.G. : 172 inches


C.G. = 68.75 + 97x172/1289 = 81.74 inches aft of datum


Hope that's of some help to you (and others).


Joe C.
