• 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 talked to my insurance guy (Sky Smith) today and...

Just for hull insurance on the S1-11B they want 1200 a year (plan is not yet complete) and after I gasped, I asked about what it would be if it was flying and he said nobody would cover it all because of the lack of hours. I did tell them the eventual pilot (flyapitts) has 50 hrs in a S2 and would go for more training before it flew and said he check again.

Where and how is anyone insuring:
any Pitts/Eagle or variant
and Pitts S1-11B.

is there like a go to insurance company/agent that I should check with?
