• 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.

What is the sequence by which you'd build a skybolt? I spent several hours with a measuring tape trying to work out how to fit it in my garage or under the carport. Can't fit the fully assembled plane. I do however have plenty of room to built the fuselage and the wings separately. How much work can be done before finally putting everything together? Roughly how much work needs to be done from putting the wings on?

Secondly, for those who have a plane already, can you taxi with the lift up canopy open? I live in a rather warm climate and almost always taxi with the windows open in the Cessna. Thanks,

David
