• 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've purchased another Smith Mini but didn't get any paperwork with it . It's built very well and the builder supposedly has passed on to higher sky's . The fellow that I purchased it from didn't know much about the builder but had acquired it in an estate liquidation and was told that the builder had previously built a Pitts . I picked the plane up in the Liberal / Dodge City Kansas area but don't know if that is the area that it originated in .The workmanship and quality are an indication that he was an experienced builder . I have two Smith projects and choose to go with this one as my build . If anyone on here has any knowledge of the builder or any information on this particular airplane , it will be very helpful and likewise appreciated . Thanx Dennis
