• 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.

Does anyone know where the proposal for changes in weight and cruise speed regarding the light sport category is currently at as a NPRM. In the recent Sport Aviation issue February 2020 was posted in EAA Outlines with several lines regarding sweeping reform to Light Sport and Amateur-built Aircraft? It is my understanding that the weight limit and cruise speed will be changed to better reflect many light airplane currently flying including Experimental Aircraft, and further it will be based on a formula not just weight but also speed and performance.
