• 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.

Does anyone have any experience with the home-built Beachboy Staggerwing? I am new to the sport of flying, with nothing more than a lifetime of dreaming and a few short flights in various light planesfor experience. I have not flown in a Ultralight or Light Sport but feel this is the only way I'll ever be able to break into all the fun that the rest of you people are enjoying. I have a real affinity for all things mechanical and would like to build my own plane. I am a pretty decent welder with experience with tig, mig, and gas procedures, and have no doubt that I can build a safe , reliable airplane. I need some direction as to what would be the best all-round type ofhome-built for a beginner. I really like the Beachboy Staggerwing; low build time and looks like a strong design. But would it be the right plane for a beginner or woulda mono likethe J3 Kitten or the Preceptor N3 Pup be a better choice? (also low build time) Any direction or tips here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gerald:
