• 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.

I've posted pics before in the Flight Manual thread, but today I got some pictures of my friend's Pitts assembled. This is a never-flown S-1C, the metal parts kit dating back to the 1970's.

I helped him with the first high-power engine runs where he was checking the air-fuel ratio provided by the Rotec Throttle Body.

And after all that, I got to taxi it around!
