• 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 check Knight Twister Forum periodically and a couple of weeks ago Graeme Tecnam posted a few nice pictures of his Imperial KT powered by a Lyc O-320.
He's in Australia and on You Tube he has a quick clip of it taking off and then final and touching down.
He's worked through some issues with gear geometry and moved the gear back and down a little reducing his tailwheel weight and refinished the profile of the wings airfoil to smooth it out over some surface irregularities. He now reports it's handling is much improved.
