• 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.

I just had the opportunity to fly on Acrosport II, the owner was really kind to give me a flight from the front seat.

Althought there were no instruments on the front panel it appeared to me that the panel in itself was really close to my face. The plane was built to plans, so it should be normal...
I wonder if I am the first to feel like this...
We are planning on some extensive dual on the plane when built (severeral buiders in group) so i´m wondering if this can be improved without compromising any other thing.
Does anybody see a problem on moving the front panel forward a couple of inches? Woud it be a problem?
I guess basic airspeed and altimeter (that´s all I plan to put in the front) could fit either way.

Thanks, Jose.
