• 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.

Is there a document available listing common inspection points for Acro Sport 1s for pre-buy, or even annuals? Since the Acro Sport is a close copy of the Pitts, could I use the Pitts resources? Is 600 hours a lot of time on an aerobatic airframe? I know that it probably depends on if the pilot was a serious advanced-level competitor or a weekend barnstormer. Worst-case, if the airframe spent 600 hours going between competitions, would it be ready for a restoration?
thx,Brian
