• 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.

Can I please sample everyone's, who's willing to share, basic (empty) weights.

I want to see the spread, plus where mine sits in the field. We are putting her on a diet this winter & am intrigued how much we can loose & get ourselves a base target weight.

We have an IO360 A1B6 (angled)
Fully injected, inverted oil. Wood fixed pitch prop, 2 place canopy, top wing aux fuel tank. Pc680 battery, plane power alt, standard instrument fit, Dittel radio.

Just to say, I'm interested in a good middle weight, not the lightest, bare bones machine.

Thanks chaps for sharing your intimate weights

Alistair
