• 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.

This will be my first post here after i bought a Skybolt project in october 2018.

The project was started in the late 70's. And the fuselage was more or less finished.

The original builder had also started to built the wings, but as there was no documentation about the wood, glue etc, I elected to start from scratch.

I will have to do some minor modifications to the fuselage, and of course paint in a different color

The engine is an IO 540, with an MT two blade CS propeller.

(I would like to have a 3 blade prop, but I got a very good deal on the engine and prop)
