• 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.

My S-1S has gone to a new home. It's been a slow burnout for me over the least year or so. I feel like I've pushed that poor airplane as far as it was gonna go, and my motivation to continue with it slowly dropped to near nothing. Things change. Been bummed about it, but I'm not one to let an airplane rot, and I finally decided to let it go. It's not too far away, and with another true Pitts lover and fellow acro brother. Still love these things and think it's the coolest little airplane ever. I don't have any continued acro plans right now, but am looking for a nice J-3 to mess around with and keep me flying for now. I do have some truly great buddies who have generously offered to let me fly their Bi and Mono wings any time. Maybe down the road I'll pick up something again for some fartin' around acro. Planning on flying Wilson and CDing one last time at the end of the month. Last time in the hangar -
