• 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 every one

the belgian Mini Pitts made its first sortie, but it's not quite ready to fly. :p

Its weight, as it is, is 164kg (approx 361 lbs) and is expected to be arround 180kg (395 lbs) when ended.

The builder has a concern because presently the CG is at 33% instead of 28%. Is that normal at this stage of the building. If not, what to do to rebalance the airplane without to add weight at the nose, if possible.
