• 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.

It's a '68 S1C that was built and flown by my friend Bill Bentzen. He quit flying it in '85. It's got about 300 TT, O-320, 704 empty weight, original cotton and aluminum ribs (!). Anyone know anything about the ribs?

It's quite a time capsule and will be a neat rebuild/restoration after I get done with my current project.

I've owned a lot of unusual airplanes but this my first Pitts.
