• 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 am admittedly a low time tail wheel pilot that wants a Pitts. Looking at a S1C in Texas in the low 20's. All of my TW time is in Super Decathlon (SD) with the exception of 1 hour duel in a S2B. I intend approx 5 hour additional duel in the S2 if I purchase the S1.
I do not intend to compete (thats what they say) looking for a "fun plane" have a baron for cross country. Considering the S1 or a SD. Most of my friends are pushing me towards the SD, I want the Pitts. Do the S1 drivers enjoy just flying? How is it for straight and level? The plane I'm looking at does NOT have a locking TW. I will be flying off of grass.
I know this seems all a bit convoluted, just looking for some basic advice.
