• 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 just finished the new canopy installation and test-flew it last week. The old canopy came open in the air (really bad) and destroyed itself. I made a new coaming and flew it open-cockpit for a while but didn't care much for it. The new one is my rendition of Steen's tilt canopy with some modifications. I like it so far. Special thanks to Pete Clinton in Colorado for all the help and moral support.
