• 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.

Whenever I fly my Duster I am always keeping a couple of potential spots in mind in case I ever needed to set down quick. Yesterday I was flying in an area that did not have much available other than a lake.

It got me to wondering if there is any knowledge base out there on ditching a Starduster, or other biplane type. Has anyone done it, or seen it done? Hope I never need to, but curious about technique...
