• 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, my day didn't end well. The bungee on the right gear failed on my S2B. The safety cable did help in that the gear didn't go out to the point of hitting the wing. But the cable wasn't short enough to keep the right lower wing from scraping the runway. Of course the spade was bent so as to slice into the fabric. It was a beautiful day until that sad ending.
