• 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.

I'm a newbie to aircraft acquisition, but not to flying or preflights.
How can I evaluate a home built aircraft when I first see it? How do I know it hasn't been "wrung out"?
Specifics to check regarding flying wires/javelins?
I plan to enlist the help of an expert set of eyes of course, but what can I personally look for?
Thanks!
