• 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.

Not bi-wing, but still have one.

After a 20 year hiatus, I'm finally getting back to my Sonerai IILS build.
I'm going to complete it as a single seat with a Revmaster 2100D.

I sold my Sonerai II mid wing around 2000, N91ST. I always wonder what happened to it. I still have my Stinson 108-2 that I bought when I sold N91ST.

With a couple of Skybolts and a Hiperbipe in between, it's time to get back after it. (Still have the Hiperbipe and Stinson)

Fuselage was pretty much done with all the flight controls built. Wing spars are done and most ribs are made. All the S wing angles are cut. Just have to get after it.

For the acro minded, this is stressed to 6g positive and -4 negative at acro weight. Not a lot of vertical on 75 hp, but these are very slippery.

Retired in September, no more excuses...
