• 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.

Month ago our airclub has got new S-2C and I found that it has 1297 lbs Standard Empty Weight and 403 lbs Useful Load (1700 lbs Gross). Therefore we can fly only with two 132 lbs pilots and 23 gall Useful fuel or with two 165 lbs pilots and only 12 gall of fuel (IAW POH) It’s impossible to fly with our 220 lbs instructor. Our S-2C has Garmin and smoke. How can we fly our Pitts with two person and fuel for 1 hour and perform aerobatic and spins? Is it possible and safely to fly Pitts out of Weight and Balance?
Best regards.
