• 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.

Posting this for Bill, perhaps someone can help ----

All Pitts S1C owners or past owners:
A question has been raised by a foreign government aviation group asking for the “GLIDE RATIO” of a Pitts S1C. I would appreciate, if you own one or owned one and know the glide ratio, that you would be kind enough to forward that data to me personally. I know there will be some variation because of engines , weight , and “one off additions and alterations” , so please if you could include engine make, horsepower, type of propeller, and any other significant deviations that would be very helpful.
Thanking you in advance for this valuable information.
