• 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.

Hi all,

A newbie from SoCal here.


What kind of tie-down solutions do you use on your Pitts?

I think most of you hangar your Pitts and hardly choose to do cross country flights in them unless you really have to. I bought my S-1S few months ago and I never had to think about the tie-down issues until I started preparing for a contest. As you know there are no tie down rings on the wings. During the contest, will have to leave it at a tie-down spot at the airport and I really can't remember how other people tied down theirs at the past ones. I think I've seen one of them using the I-struts and wrapped straps around them but not sure how to make one, or where to buy one like that...
