• 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.

Well I hope that I am in the right place. I am a couple hundred hour sport pilot working on finishing up my PPL for fixed wing. I know from my nature that I need to escalate to the next level of flying and I love the pitts or at least the idea of the pitts. I have some time flying in aerobatic planes and love every minute of it. However, I need help to see if this is the right direction. Can I expect it to be as difficult to fly and especially land the single hole pitts as some portray. I am a younger guy under 30 and pretty crisp on the controls and want to know if it is wise to look at getting into taildragger biplanes without logging hundreds of hours in other aircraft. Would it be smart to get a taildragger endorsement in a Pitts type or ??? Any thoughts? Am I even in the right place?
