• 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.

Would it be accurate to say that the seat pan to canopy distance should be be the same in any S1 being it a S model or C model, short or stretched fuselage.
I am bringing an S1 C (shorty) back to life from the dead and Im curious. I am vertically challenged (5'9) so not real worried about fitting leg wise but more about head hitting canopy.
I am thinking that a stretch would only give more leg room so how do taller folks
keep from hitting canopy.
