• 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.

Thanks for the great forum!

I'm beginning the process to restore and re-cover my Skybolt.
My dad started building it in the early 1970s, then set it aside to build a Sonerai II and a Q2, then resumed work to complete it in 1987.

Some technical info:

Engine: IO-360 A1A
Prop: 2-Bladed Hartzell
3-Piece top wing with Starduster cabanes and brace wire layout.
Modified Ailerons (very light stick forces without spades).
Servo/Trim on elevator and rudder.
Rear canopy.
