• 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.

Last night I had the pleasure of a visit to my hangarby Don Fairbanks, builder and pilot of the Knight Twister Imperial that raced during the 1970's, and is now on permanent display in the EAA museum. Don was in town for a reunion with his WWII unit, the Carpetbaggers (he was a tailgunner in B-24's), and was being escorted by GoldenAge, aka David, our local Knight Twister expert (cm'on David, you know more about Twisters than anyone else around here!). We visited for over two hours talking about Knight Twisters, biplane racing, memories of Reno and Cleveland, and Don's WWII experiences. He says if anyone has any questions, IT'S IN THE BOOK! This was a rare a special occasion for me. Thanks Don and David.
