• 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.

hello,

I’m new to the forum and to Pitts aircraft. I currently owns Pitts S1S project and while trying to make the plane airworthy again I noticed it wasn’t built with an elevator trim tab. I looked on line and noticed some have a trip and some don’t. I’m curious if anyone has flown one without and can tell me the the reason not it install one?

I’m also curious if someone have a copy of their S1S weight and balance numbers.... I need to redo mine and I would like a starting point.

I’ll have more questions,but wanted to start with these.

Thanks!

Ed
