• 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 a Pitts S1-C with S wings. The fuselage was built in 1966. I want to put a new fuel tank in it. I called Steen and they told me I may have the short fuselage but he is not sure. Is my fuselage the short one (Built in 66)? How do I know?Steentold me to ask on this forum if the tank I can buy thru Steen will work. If not where can I get one? If I can not buy one can I use titanium, or should I continue to use aluminum to build the tank. The tank I have only has 10-12 gallons usable. Can I fit a larger tank in it? I do not want to use a wing tank.


Thank in advance,
