• 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.



Big passenger, little pasenger

I've heard it said that a Hatz can carry any passenger who can get into the front cockpit, but... I tried to give a ride today to my son in law, who weighs 270. The W&B sheet said it was OK, and he was able to get in, and strap in (barely), but when I pulled the stick back it hit his stomach when the elevator was barely above flat... sorry, we can't do it. He was a good sport about it, though.

My daughter is a different story, she's a little thing, so she got her first biplane ride today. Think she enjoyed it?
