• 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.

Look at Barnstormers once in a Blue Moon - was surprised to see this felt some attention should be drawn to it.

A web search showed it was in IAC Competition in 1994: IAC Contest Results

It would seem if it is one the O-320 Homestead S1C's it should be of interest. 1967 fits but the builder is listed as Spencer. Assume the seller has background to state it is a Homestead build.

I had the opportunity to buy an O-320 Homestead S1C in the mid-90's (New Jersey based) and I've been kicking myself ever since for not going through with it - the owner was rather unpleasant so I just walked away.

Lake George is an easy day trip for me if anyone wants me look over it for them.
