• 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 an odd feeling. I am sat here, mellowing out on some 12 year old Black Label Johny Walker, thinking about today's' usual visit to the hangar to work on the 'Skybolt project that never ends'. Well, today, it did. I finally finished up on the glasswork/front windshield (which has been hell to deal with).

I then started looking around for the next '15 minute project' that will take the whole weekend or more, to complete, and began to realize, there wasn't one, I have nothing left do - except paint the darn thing. I'll repeat, NOTHING LEFT TO DO. Wow. After 12 years (which didn't go unnoticed, that that happened to match the whiskey vintage!), I cannot find anything that needs fabricating. Speechless, I am.

Of course, there is always something to tweak, and 400 hours of paint, but you get my drift....
