• 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.

On Barnstormers as "1979 Pitts S-2A" there is an example of a Pitts S-2A owned by a partnership that paid too much for an airplane with original fabric (43 years old!), has had the maintenance done by a shop that does not know Pitts and now wants out. Asking $60,000 on Barnstormers, down from $75.000. If they will take $40,000 and the new owner spends something like $40K for new fabric, it could be a nice airplane. Just south of Boston, MA. I became acquainted with some of the owners as their parachute rigger after they purchased the ship.

Best of luck,

Wes
