• 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.

Over fifty years ago when I were a young lad on the farm it was just getting dark and we had had our bath and we ,that is my brothers and I,had our pajamas on when we heard an engine over head .Our Dad put us in the ute and we want out to the big paddock to see a plane ,read biplane, landing .It was a crop sprayer and the first plane I had ever seen up close.It was a Tigermoth.As a small boy it was very exciting .The smell of the herbicide I will always associate with the tigermoth.The pilot was lost and stopped to ask directions.I was bitten by the biplane bug right there and then though unrequited at this time.It was a thing of another era.
