• 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.

Good afternoon. Could someone please provide a summary of the factory S-2A rigging specifications (serial # 215X range)? Incidence, washout (if any), dihedral, etc. We have rigging boards and a copy of the Doug Sowder "Rigging the Pitts" procedures. We just wanted to compare our current readings to original specifications.
If someone had a recommendation for suggested lower right wing washout for the S-2A to compensate torque that would be appreciated. Is the .4 degrees leading edge down a good place to start that is referenced in the rigging instructions?
Thank you,
Jim C
