• 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.

it seems like the least expensive way to get into a Pitts would be buying a flying S1C. Then if a person wanted more performance at least in roll, What would be the best alternative and why?

I realize this is subjective and may vary person to person but I thought I'd ask it any how.

As I see it the options are:

1) Sell the S1C and buy and S1S
2) Buy or build & install a set of stock S1S wings, sell the flat wings
3) Build a set of S1-SS wings sold by Steen Aero Lab
4) Build a set of Pitts ultimate or other "aftermarket" wings

I'm not sure if I ever get a Pitts I'd really need more performance than the flat wing. But maybe.

Just thinking here and want others thoughts/opinions.
