• 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.

Hi All,

So Ii have been transitioning into an S2A ( with an instructor )over the last little while and I'm at the point where I am comfortable in all phases of the circuit except the final round out phase. My landings are still going "bounce bounce bounce" mainly because I am not quite getting the correct picture.

My main issue revolves around where to look when I transition from a side slip ( we do a side slip curved approach ) into the flare. I always seem to be not quite in the 3 point attitude and I am also finding it hard to pick up left or right drift.

Does anyone have any pointers that might help??

Without a shadow of doubt this is the hardest ( but most fun ) aircraft I've flown.
