• 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 will be finishing up my Pitts 12 project this spring and would like to know how the 12 compares to an S1 or S2B. Several have been sold after a short ownership and I wondered why.
I have owned a light S1D (150hp) and an S1S (180hp fixed pitch) and both were great flying airplanes. I always wanted a Model 12 and traded a yak 55 and S1S for the 12 project I have now. For those who have flown the 12 and other Pitts model, how does the 12 compare and what are the negatives of the 12.
