• 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.

G'day All,
I am looking at replacing the old and somewhat crappy MIL style harness in my Pitts with a hooker or similar but have a couple of questions.
What options are out there that I should be considering? Are Hooker harnesses the bees knees and am I stilly to consider anything else?
Is anyone here using another brand i.e the silver parachutes acro belt and if so how do you like it?
Is ratcheting a must?
Do I need to provide specific measurements for the S1 or should the manufacturer have this info handy?
Do buyers order directly from Hooker or through aircraft spruce or the like?
I am not interested in skimping out when it comes to buying safety critical gear, I just want to know I am spending my money on a quality product that might save my bacon later on.
As you know I am new to this so any advice would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Ant
