• 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.

Hello all.

Earlier this year my son and I purchased a Pitts S1T. It's been at his place for the last six months and recently came to mine as he moved to the other side of Australia.

I'm looking at this aeroplane and thinking I must go and learn to fly it.

But before I do, I want to pull the cowls and have a good look over. When he delivered it to my place recently, he had the oil pressure gauge moment where it flickered. He was running around with only 4 quarts of oil in it. Kids!

Also I'm told it only has an oil screen. I had one on a Cub once and hate them. Do others have a filter on their S1T.

Does anyone have an annual maintenace guide I could use as reference as I look over this aircraft?

Any Pitt's ownership advise gladly accepted.

Many thanks,
Texmex.
