• 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 am looking at a fuselage for a S1 and the ad says:


"Gear lengthened and widened".


I cant find anything on doing this to a S1. I find where the S2 had a wider landing gear but no where do I see that done to a S1. Anyone heard of it? And know how it worked out? I know the Whitman style may be the way to gobut I am wondering ifthe builder took too many lliberties?I understand how to make them longer but wider would almost certainly mean a fuselage adjustment of some sort.
