• 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'm sure I'm making a big mistake, but I've listed the beautiful Nicholas Cain rebuild of N69KK for sale today.

Asking $74k. Flown 100 hours last 12 months. Flown today, and yesterday, and so on... pursuing monoplane opportunity and it is $&*% or get off the pot time.

ADSB reception is actually not good in the bowl I fly in at 9A9, so stalking ADSB will give you a false impression of how much it flies. It flies extremely regularly, .4 to .6 at a time. Many cross countries last year. Very reliable 160+ mph cruise S1 with 18 gallons on board.

The plane has been good to me. Nick has been good to me. I've learned a lot taking care of the plane and where possible improving on it or otherwise aiming to not break it.

I added moving map/gps/attitude indicator, clock, sensenich ground adjust prop #4 pitch setting. Flies dead nuts straight. No leaks, minimal oil burn. Happy plane.

Cost a lot more than that to build it, so I've been told.

Looking for it to go to happy home. I sell things while I still like them. Still a daily driver at Intermediate contest level with advanced aspirations next season if I keep driving it... planning on attending Ohio contest unless it is gone.

July 2022 condition inspection.
