• 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.

Hy everyone,

I'm living in France, near Cognac.
I am a former fighter pilot, and I'm now working for a French aircraft manufacturer.
I am designing an Utralight racer but my real dream is to fly a competitive biplane.
This aircraft must match the french Ultralight aircraft requirements :
- empty weight : 630 lbs for a dual seater or 450 lbs single seater
- MTOW : 990 lbs dual seater and 660 lbs single seater
- Vso = 65 km/h or 40 mph or 35 kt
- Max engine power is 75 kw (102 hp) for a dual seater or 65 kw (81 hp) single seater.

I would prefer a single seater and I want it to cruise at 100 mph minimum.

It seems the ragwing mini Pitts could be illegible in French ULM category.
I need your help to select the good aircraft and then to find the plans to build it.
