• 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.

So here we go. My project is starting with a set of Wolf wings from Smizo. The rest is yet to be determined… S1 stuff according to the plans, or perhaps WP360… One step at a time now though. I’ll be headed into a training event at work so I expect progress this winter to be pretty slow. And despite the fact that pictures of people building ribs isn’t particularly unique, here they are.

Unfortunately shipping took it’s toll, and I had a couple of jigs that took some damage. Some glue and clamps got them back where they needed to be.
