• 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.

Just got back from Oshkosh...bigger every year (not sure that is a good thing) ... I was on a mission to find a reasonable substitute for the canopy slides used for the two place sliding canopy.
Unfortunately I only found two Skybolt/Firebolts on the field. Both of these had the original MacKenzie slides, which to my knowledge are long gone relics.
So who amongst us has found a workable replacement for these slides?? I realize that any change from the original will require some modification but I am hoping to keep that to a minimum.

Still haven't gotten the call about winning that Stearman...wonder what went wrong??
