• 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.

Pitts N46GP had its first flight Sunday morning, July 25, 2021 following a 23 year restoration. Previously registered as N46CC it is a Homestead factory Pitts Special S1S s/n 1-0012. I obtained this aircraft in 1995 and flew it until Sept 1998 when I started a restoration that lasted until this morning! It flew beautifully. Looking forward to many more hours in the air!
