• 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 have been lurking on this forum for a few years and have owned the airplane since 2003 with Robby. I moved to North Carolina two years ago and we aren't flying it enough to justify keeping it. Airworthiness issued '94 First flown '98 and stored until 2003 with only the 25 hour test period flown off because the builder lost medical.
