• 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,
I've been reading the forum for quite some time but this is my first time posting.

My dad used to own a Smith Miniplane. He loved flying...especially the Miniplane. He sold it when I was 4 but I basically grew up at the airport. The Smith is a big reason I'm flying today.

When my dad passed a year ago, I tried to track it down. It turned into somewhat more than just the story of the airplane.

I've documented it in this blog:

I thought bipe guys might enjoy reading it.

Comments, critiques - encouraged. Enjoy!
