• 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.

I might be flying through some controlled airspace in Miami this weekend.

1. Is the FAA type for a Pitts S1S = PTS1/U or since mine is experimental should I use HXB/U?

2. 91.319 says that on first contact with a tower at a field I have to say "Experimental" ((3) Notify the control tower of the experimental nature of the aircraft when operating the aircraft into or out of airports with operating control towers.)... But I am going to assume I don't need to if I am just flying with VFR flight following with center and flying through class B, or should I just open with "Experimental Pitts NXXX"?
