• 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.

Over the 12-month period from October 1, 2019, through September 30, 2020, which mirrors the federal government fiscal year, total fatal accidents in experimental aircraft dropped more than 15 percent from the previous year, to 44 total fatal accidents including 32 in amateur-built aircraft — an 18 percent drop. The 44 fatal accidents were eight percent below the FAA's not-to-exceed number of 48 for fiscal year 2020.


I think this is mostly due to fewer people flying fewer hrs, and has little to do with some sort of better flying skills or decision making, what say you? Dave
