    • 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.
    • 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 am just about ready to have my Skybolt inspected - justfuel lines to connect and rig the wings. Hopefully I'll be airborne this fall.
I acquired the project about 25% complete 2 years ago almost to the day and have been a pretty dedicated builder. I have really enjoyed the project.
I elected to go with the M-14P and am pleased that I did. I love the appearance of the aircraft. I think it will be a joy to fly. There were a few hurdles or challenges to deal with along the way but no show stoppers.
I am building the Skybolt in Brantford, Ontario, Canada and if anyone is interested, please stop by. I'm working at Gilbert Custom Aircraft where there are several other projects - a Varieze, Mustang 1, etc. Darryl Gilbert is building a Super Chipmunk (Lycoming 540) and his pride is a full scale Spitfire with a V-12 Ranger engine.
Cheers,
J.Pearson
