• 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 was in Andrew Kolaks hangar yesterday admiring his years of skill and labor building two Wacos from drawings. The Taperwing is really interesting. Everything true to original. I cringed looking at the tires and wheels and thinking about a narrow paved runway. He hand machined much of it, including the struts. The rugs on the floor, by the way, are from a rare barn find 38 Packard Victoria he has been restoring for two years. That thing is headed to a museum next summer.

Both planes will be flying this summer.
