• 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.



Light Weight Pitts ? Continental Power ?

OK so here goes...
Lots of talk about light weight, wing loading and such
No doubt light flies better
Has anyone flown an 0-200/C85 powered Pitts ?
I know BD was involved in the replica No.1 and it was amazingly light 500ish lbs
The Lycomings are easier to make run inverted
Not talking about resale value, just cool and fun
GPrice did an 0-200 powered Ultimate
How about an 0-200 powered C or D ?
600-650 lbs empty ?
I'm hoping one of the experienced folks on the Forum can comment
Mike
