• 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.

Looking for thoughts from the brain trust.

I road raced formula cars for 13 years, including ground effect cars. Before I took time off, I used to regularly do gentleman stuff in a citabria or decathlon. +3-4 g and -2. Formula cars could regularly hit lateral 3 or 4 depending on the car and track.

I have NEVER had motion sickness.

But I just did some flights in a 2B for acro training, and was motion sick. Did not puke, but first flight I was done at 20 minutes of acro, and never was able to last more than 40 minutes.

I am turning 50, so maybe that's it. And this competition stuff is much more uncoordinated than the gentleman aero, but I am feeling a bit surprised and discouraged.

Other than sleep and eating toast, any tips?
