• 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.

I know a lot of people read but do not post here, so just a few words of encouragement for all of you....


When you read the manual and it tells you that you can build a part in , "a couple of evenings", please do not get discouraged if it takes you a couple of weeks to build the same part.


I forget where I read that statement, but nothing you do is simple, and nothing you do will only take " a couple of evenings" unless you are very experienced and have done several aircraft previously.


Take your time.....this isn't a race.....and it will get done. You'll be proud of it when you're done.


Show off the parts you've made to family and friends....explain what THAT part does and how it will later fit into the total picture. This will give you a feeling of accomplishment instead of feeling like the whole thing will never get done.


You are doing something that not many people have the guts to embark on, and even less people ever finish. Don't give up....and don't get discouraged. Baby steps....it's all baby steps.
