• 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.



First Flight was in July!

Hi all,<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />

Sorry to took me so long to unveil my Pitts S1-C, I’m just having too much fun flying!

I received my airworthiness certificate for N4YW on July 10. It was another week before I mustered up the right stuff for a first flight; that occurred on July 16. I have 43 hours on her now and plan to take her to Oshkosh next year!

She’s powered by a Franklin Sport-4, 235ci, 130HP engine. I may be the only Franklin 130 flying in a Pitts?

She's a blast to fly and trades off altitude and airspeed nicely for aerobatics.
