• 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 am looking at a Skybolt that has had some pretty serious mods done to wings, I'm sure all of you guys have seen the nice one with the scheizer metal wings. They appear to be very strong and should be fine at higher weights for cross country use. I would like to get a 2000+ lb gross weight for the plane which is already at 1850. Does anyone know what is required to increase the weights on a already certified experimental aircraft, is it just a manual change or is some serious flight testing and tons of paper work going to be in order. Advice would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,


Mike
