• 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.

FYI. Since the RV-10 uses the same wheel size as the Skybolt, I decided to use these pants. They are HUGE, the length is OK, but the width is well over the top. Definitely fat pants. They may look OK in proportion on the RV-10, but not on the bolt. Luckily, I knew a local RV-10 builder who just bought them off me.
I like the idea of the pressure recovery shape. My research lead me to a guy who makes a slim version of the RV-10 pants. Priced well, too:
