• 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.

After almost 4 years of restoration, babying, and procrastination, Miss Smith flew this week. She last flew about 22 years ago. Only a short hop, but no squawks, flies straight and level. Plan on exploring the performance numbers more today, but what a thrill for me! I didn't build her originally but have poured a lot of time, thought, and money in to her during the rebuild. Anyway, the smile is still on my face.
