• 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.

All I can say is what a hoot! I had never flown an open cockpit or a radial. Needless to say I am officially a convert to both. It was a perfect 70 degree day and I'm not sure I've ever had a more fun day of flying. I also thought is was easier to land than citabrias/decathelons. It sits down exactly where you tell it. Visibility was significantly better than the Pitts I've flown (never been in the back seat of an S2, though).

Thanks for listening guys. One day...
