• 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.

Hello to you all. This is my firstpost and I am new to this forum so please forgive me if the subjects are already covered elsewhere.
I am keen to buy my own aeroplane after being in a couple of shared groups ( chipmunk and Acrosport)and quitelike the idea of a Pitts S1.


I have flown the Acrosport 2 and wonder if anyone can advise on how they compare with regards ground handling and landing? I plan tofly out of a nice 700m grass strip.


Also does anyone have any experience of the differances in handling of the Grovespring gear rather than conventional setups as one of the machines I am interested in is fitted with thissystem?


How does an S1c with the two low wing ailerons compare to the more common full four wing setup ?
Thanks inadvance ,Steve
