• 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.

Quite some time ago I joined this site because I wanted to do a Bipe, I was looking at the Zipster at the time, but a fter some much heated and sometimes controversial discussions that project was abandoned. About a year ago my buddy and I purchased a Chuckbird Bipe off of Ebay and have spent the last year rebuilding it. It is ready to go to the airport for final assembly and testing but the weather has turned against us. I don't really feel much like assembling wings and doing rigging in 20 degree weather or doing taxi tests in 4" of snow or test flying an open cockpit plane in 20 degree weather either, call me a wuss if you like. It has been a fun year. this is what the plane looked like 20+ years ago
