• 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 currently flying a pitts s1c and learning a lot as a newbie. I always said that I'd buy an extra 230 if one came up and now it has. I see that a few here have flown the 230. My impression is that the balance and handling of the extra 230 is something special and that is what is driving the potential purchase. I expect to only progress through intermediate so absolute performance is not the goal. It is more the "sweetness" of a wonderfully balanced plane. Is this something to pursue or stay in the biplane realm (I realize this is the Biplane forum)? I really enjoy the challenge of the little pitts and am in no way exploiting 1/2 of its potential but extra 230's don't pop up every day. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
