• 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 just had the pleasure of ferrying this really well built and well flying Skybolt. Built in the late 1970s, by a local of DCU. The gentleman pilot /builder is 81 now and after flying mine, seeked out and found his plane in Hartford Wi. No logs unfortunately, but one can tell it’s a purebred. Flys strait as arrow. I love my 540 powered plane, but I can sure see the appeal to this engine combination (io360). Hartford Wi is a gorgeous gem btw..
