• 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 read through the rule changes every year, many of the rules changes make sense to help the direction of the organization or to help things flow more smoothly. I encourage everyone to read through the rule changes.

This is the first rule change I am NOT in support of:

PROPOSAL 2017-16
Affected Rule(s): Numerous
Subject: Rename Sportsman Category
Background
There are a few pilots who avoid using the term “Sportsman” in favor
of “Sportsperson”. “Sportsperson” is a mouthful so a better gender neutral suggestion would be simply “Sports”.
Proposed Changes

Rename the Sportsman category the “Sports” category

I think we should leave the category alone and call it sportsman..If your offended by the non gender neutral name, your about to really be offended when you show up!
