• 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 just got a slightly damaged (groundloop)Pitts S1-T. It is experimental. Part of the damage was a very light prop strike on the MT 3 blade prop. I was wondering of anyone has removed the gov. and constant speed prop and installed a fixed pitch prop? I have a new 76x 62 sensenich - just wondering how aft it gets the CG.


I plan to replace it with a Whirwind as soon as I have the cash. I'd just like to be able to excercise it some.


Also- Anyone with a spare left hand landing gear wishing to sell it please let me know. Otherwise the engine mount is going to Steve Wolf for the RV type rod gear mod.
