Why become a Subscribing Member?

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.

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 am looking to buy a friends S-1D in the Spring. I currently have 200 hours tt, and 98% of that is tail wheel time in a Super Decathlon and RV-6.

I called a couple insurance companies to see what I needed to get insured and most say they want a Pitts check out in a S-2.

I live in Reno, NV. Can anyone recommend someone who could check me out with a S-2 that is relatively close? My old instructor out at RTS had one but he sold it.

Thanks for your help.
