• 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.

I just completed my first solo in my S1C. I found that it came off the ground a little quicker than the S2C and ground handling wasn't that much difference. I had better visibility on approaches (vs. front seat S2C) and touchdown worked out just fine.
I recently spent 4 days in Abingdon, VA. with Johnny White, which really prepared me for the solo. I made five landings, each of which would only have caused minor cussing from Johnny!
I fulfilled a lifelong dream this morning and I can't wait to get back out there.
