• 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.

This is not covered in the 'manual' but the August 1982 Sport Aviation article 'Ghost writers in the sky' had an excellent account of what can go wrong during some typical 'fun things to do with your Skybolt' flight which was traced to having too much elevator trim travel available (as well as with no easily found neutral postion). Thought it might be worth adding some trim travel amountssince it isn't in the "Manual". And the article is a must read with some very good flying advice for those doing aerobatics with a 'co-pilot'.
