• 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.

Sunday, I finally flew my Pitts S1S. A decade of work to get here and it was incredible. Sheer excitement and terror and joy all in one. Haha. Yesterday I flew it again. It's such an incredible airplane and I want to thank everyone here for advice and tips along the way. It needed a small rudder trim tab which helped quite a bit but it still has a little aileron grab to the right that I'll have to fix. I'm thinking slave strut adjustment should fix that. It's going to be a wild 40 hours of flight testing, but I'm super excited.
