• 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.



Pitts wins!

A friend of mine, Craig Dobesh,won the Advanced category at the Llano Hammerfest in Llano, TXover the weekend in his highly modified Pitts S-1. Second place went to a Sukhoi. Seems Craig hadmonoplane for breakfast! Craig built his airplane and incorporated many high performance mods such as aluminum oversized pressure ailerons, low drag wing fillets and upper and lower aileron wing spades. Notice in the pic, his airplane has the standard bungee gear. I'll post a pic of his airplane. Pitts S-1 is still king in my book!
