• 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.

Saw this post on the Acro exploder... made by Bill Finagin. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me reposting...

" [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]At Oshkosh's EAA Airventure the Aviat Aircraft Factory will "test the waters" for restarting the manufacturing of the famous Pitts S1S single place aircraft.[/FONT]

This will be a certified Pitts single place aircraft with a Lycoming Fuel-Injected IO-360-B4A engine and a Fixed Pitch Propeller. Rated HP will be 180 HP@2700 RPM.

Deposits of certified checks or wire transfers will be accepted for the first five aircraft at a substantial discounted price of $138,000. The next 5 aircraft will be offered at $143,000 with the list price after that being $148,000 dollars. Delivery will begin in early 2013.

If you are interested do stop by the Aviat Booth at Airventure and see Bill Finagin, the national Pitts dealer. This is a deal that is, perhaps, a once in a lifetime offer."
