• 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.

Does anyone recall a field in mid Pa with 20-30 engines and props simply left to rot. Someone was building Stearman dusters and had flown in a row of Stearmans on one side and a row of BT13's facing them. The smaller radials were cut off, new mounts etc installed, the R985's removed from the BT13's and installed on the Stearmans. The BT's were cut-up and scrapped and the 670's/680's left to rot...... I heard this story in the early 70's and saw several pictures. Might have happened in the 50's?
