• 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 would love to retrofit SOJ with a full canopy, however my flight authority from Transport Canada (keep in mind dated 1994), specifically states:

”...canopy must be removed for aerobatic flight...”

As a newbie to the Skybolt world could I trouble the Canadian Owners for their input on this subject of dealing with TC. Have things changed since my permit was issued, so this restriction is no longer an issue, or is it still being imposed on new builds today?!

Surely with quick / emergency release mechanisms, this shouldn’t be an issue anymore?!
