• 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.

Good evening,

I may have an opportunity to buy a deregistered Pitts S1S built with Ultimate wings, for parts.
I already have the flying and landing wires for my project so might be willing to sell the ones coming with that aircraft, notably as it seems some builders are having a hard time finding some nowadays.

So two questions :

- for those familiar with the Pitts Ultimate wings, are the landing wires compatible with a standard S1S set up ? (I think I remember them being slightly longer due to zero dihedral on the lower wings no ?)

- how much would the full set be worth (12 wires) ? Admittedly the answer to that question might determine if that project is worth buying or not

Cheers !
