• 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,

Retired from Uncle Sam's big green machine after 22 years of quite the roller coaster ride. Am now flying for an Air Ambulance company and getting used to being treated like a human being :D

Anywho, I haven't piloted an airplane since starting Army flight school in the mid-nineties. Started flying at 16, got my private at 20, commercial at 23. I've got about 350 fixed wing hours, most of it in tail draggers (Citabria 7ECA, Cessna 188). I'm quietly lurking between the Skybolt and Model 12 threads trying to decide which ribs to start working on;). I have to say, the Model 12 seems to have a lot of hands on support from factory. I like that.

Does anyone here know of any nearby bipe projects underway in the NOLA-Gulfport-Mobile area I could visit?

Thanks!

Greg
