• 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.

Hey all,

I am trying to help a nice older gentlemen at the airport clean out his hangar and sell a couple things, one of them being this Pitts S1. I am not the seller of this but will do my best to answer any questions regarding it. He is the original owner and builder (who is an A&P). It a decent amount of custom fairing work on it. Good craftsmanship.



UPDATED INFORMATION:
-Logbooks Found, Phase 1 Complete, Had Airworthiness, Registration Expired
-Originally Certified in 1971 as a Short Fuselage S1C. It then flew approx 150hrs. Airframe rebuilt/recover completed 1985, with Sparcraft S1S wings. Engine overhauled.
-Times are now ATT: ~180 ETT: ~27 Since overhaul in 1985 *I need to spend more time with logs to verifty*
-While not flown, engine oil changes took place every year with 30 min runs up till 1998/1999, then the logbook entries stopped. He might have still done it and not done the entries, but it did not fly.

----------------------

-O360 with Inverted F/O
-Paint and Fabric in decent shape. Always hangared.

He is "asking" 35k. But this is mostly a "Make an Offer" type of deal and it will have to be a very flexible one. He is eager to sell.

It is a looker! That's for sure...

His name is Andy and the airplane is located at Lantana Airport, KLNA. His number is 561-358-3044.

For more information or help from me... [email protected]

Thanks!
