• 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.

ok, well on mikes advice im starting my own build thread. good luck on the mini mike, was looking forward to a counter part on an as2 build but you fell into one heck of a deal man, good for you! anyways, i got all of the "stick" parts for the ribs cut, labeled, and separated in bags for ease of assembly. im going tomorrow down to the shop to pick up the rest of the ply and spruce from the laser cutter, then its assembly time. im planning on the weight system to build the ribs and i have 40 pieces of round stock cut to 1.5 in. diameter x 2 in. length. i prebent the top and bottom cap strips using a jig made out of a 4x4. soak them in the tub and clamp them in until dry. been reading alot on here and thanks for everyones advice! already read all of and printed several articles from the a.s. newsletters. what a great resource this is. heres a few photos to start with, more to come! let the adventure begin.......
