• 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.

This XL sized HGU-55/P has never been used. Sort of a custom Grey paint applied to the normal grey plastic. Looks really good. It's a lightweight helmet designed for the high-g combat environment of the Air Force F-15 and F-16 but suitable for our planes. Its shell is trimmed wider and higher at the eyes for improved vision and higher on the sides and back for easier head movement. Comes with a donor Dave Clark Headset to set the helmet up for GA use. Included is the Impact-resistant tinted polycarbonate lense (with leather cover) that screens out harmful ultraviolet sunlight. According to Gentex website, XL is for head circumference over 23 and 7/8" and head length (whatever that means) of 8 and 7/8"



Retails for $1388 selling for $800
