• 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'm flying a Hatz, gentleman acrobatics - nothing too grand. A friend recently has an event in a Husky and his head and face were pretty cut up. Since then I've been thinking about getting a hard shell helmet. Helmets designed for aviation are pretty expensive. Since I wear a Clarity Aloft, I think I could use an open face motorcycle helmet. The big unknown is weight. The motorcycle helmet is 1 - 1.5 ponds heaver than most aviation helmets. Do you think this will be a problem? Do you have any experience or opinion on (1) wearing a hard shell helmet or (b) wearing a motorcycle helmet?

Thanks,
Dave
