• 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 Guys,

I bought my S1S a few years ago and one thing that has always bugged me are the canopy rails sticking out once the canopy is closed (see photo). I have seen photos of other Pitts with them exposed like this and some where they are hidden. To get the clean look with no rails exposed are people using a different brand or shorter rail length? Or is there some other modification required? Any insight would be appreciated.
