• 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.

Good morning to all of you :p

Just a short question: My Pitts S-1S doesn't have that horizontal stabilizer support tubes and by looking threw pics it seems like there are some other Pitts S-1S not having this tubes either. How important is this modification? Looks like in early days no Pitts had these....

While my fuse and elevator is already prepared for this mod it wouldn't be a hard thing to add them (the only things needed are the tubes) and they have already been on the "work for the future" list. Just want to know if I can wait until next fall (building season) or is it risky to fly without them even when the airplane is not flown very hard?

thanks in advance
Patric
