• 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.

My wife, BOL, and I are on vacation in New Zealand. While traveling through Wanaka, on the South Island, I had the opportunity to fly with Peter Hendricks in his Tiger Moth. What a great experience. I basically got a one hour instruction flight. Toured the local area, stall, spin, and return to the airport for a few circuits. Certainly a different animal than my Starduster and that landing gear really soaked up my sloppy attempts at landing. I thought my Starduster was blind after the flare but the Tiger Moth has it beat for sure!
