• 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.

My Smith went down to a forced landing as a result of carburetor ice on 11/27 (NTSB preliminary report). It's gone-the swamp was the only option. From 800 feet to the crash site in twenty seconds. I thank God I'm here today. Perfect 3-point landing roll for 8 feet before it sunk 14" into the muck, then flipped and stopped. That was mud on the back of my head. We concluded that I do not have "sh*t for brains" as stated by the wife to the media. It really was mud honey:) Get to work Boys. Where's my new Smith Miniplane?

I'd like a new one with any engine combination (excluding O-290) prerably inverted systems, structurally sound & decent fabric but not to picky about how rough the paint looks. This airplane will fly 3-4 days a week about 15 minute sorties and hung back up to dry. Please keep your ears to the walls. I'd like to have it in my stocking for Christmas. A&P with Cash in hand. Call me 352-344-5678.
