• 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.

Hi folks,

just checking in. Two of us just picked up a project to finish. We purchased N328SF, no C-FUKR, no wait, N757BH! Yeah, that‘s it! Well, for now. Planning to assign it N306HE before we paint it. Brad started on it last year, wings are recovered and painted, fuselage frame is blasted and painted, lots of new pieces and parts. Just brought it home on Friday (August 27, 2021) so still unloading, organizing, and storing parts. Current plan is to put it back together pretty much as it was when Stan Fitz built it. we have the engine, prop, spinner, etc. along with the airframe. If anybody knows details about this airplane we are all ears. Currently spending time reading the plans, Starduster History, and the Starduster Technical Tips that came with it, along with this forum.

We both still work for a living and have kids so hoping to have it flying for the 2023 fly-in season.

A few pictures in the trailer.
