• 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.

So I have completed a bunch of the squawk list items on my SkyBolt and finally ready to start flying. I have not had the aircraft weighed it is a IO-540 powered with a 3 blade prop should I have any concerns with CG with both of us aboard. I am 6'2 250 Lbs. and Guessing my instructor at 5'10 170 but will verify that information. My instructor has a lot of time in Eagles, Pitts and Many others, not any in Skybolts Would like to get some opinions on CG from others I have looked through logs etc cannot find a lot of info. Just doing some take offs and landings at first then on to stalls, spins before Aerobatics.

Thanks in advance
Jeff
