• 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.

Some guys on here have bought lathes and mills and have taught themselves some basic and advanced machining skills. I know some of you will get frustrated trying to figgure out some of that on your own. To some, drilling a basic hole will seem monumental, if you've never had any experience doing it.


There is a great video learning series produced by MIT for their artificial intelligence students (robot builders). It has many lengthy videos showing how to properly use an array of machines from drill presses to milling machines, both properly and safely. I highly recommend these videos for any of you guys on the fence about building and your skills confidence. These videos will help beginners to our beloved craft!!
