• 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.

In putting together the marquartcharger.org site, I pulled from numerous sources to put together the specs page. The result is not exactly rigorous, but gives a general idea.

Charger owners, what V speeds do you work with? I'm interested in the following:

Stall speed (Vs)
Rotation speed (Vr)
Best angle of climb (Vx)
Best rate of climb (Vy)
Best glide (Vg)
Cruise speeds
Max power level speed (Vh)
Do not exceed (Vne)

I'm sure only the most careful builders will have documented all of these, but I'm curious what's out there, including rule-of-thumb speeds you might use, whether they were tested with your plane or not.
