• 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.

Hi all,

I finally bought an S1S and was a bit shocked by how loud the plane is from inside the cockpit. My A20 and ear plugs makes it bearable, but I hate earplugs while flying, they make my ears hurt after a while.

I notice quite a few people are flying with a helmet, which should help with the noise. So I was wondering what type of helmet you use (if any) that is small enought for a pitts cockpit. I am mainly interested in noise dampening characteristics, not soo much in crash protection.

Thank you!
