• 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.

Hello gang,
I am still working on my S-1-D project and come to point of the turtledeck. I would just like to buy one if someone had one for sale. If not what would be lighter Alum or wood, also why is there both anyway? I am trying to build my Pitts as light as I can because I only have a Lyc O-290 D2 engine for the D model and poss Lyd O-235 for the C model. So light is the word like using the original gear instead of Grove alum leaf type. Is the RV-3 gear even lighter?
