• 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.



OK here may be a dumb question

A little background first I started flying lessons when I was fifteen with my dad
As instructor. Time passed and life happened . needless to say I never completed my training and have always regretted it. So there is a big spot
On the bucket list for a homebuilt. And since my former instructor(who is gone now) spent 30 years in the seat of a stearman. I have a thing for a biplane.

Enough dribble. I was watching a video of a test flight of a Skybolt with the camera mounted on the tail. Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that upper wing moving independently of the lower wing and fuselage in spite of mountings and bracing?
