• 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.

Hi all. I'm looking at an Eagle here in San Diego. Original owner/builder, 980tt on airframe and engine, 1981. I've flown it a few times already and it fly's great. I was going to jump right in and buy it, but after seeing a few threads on the cost of a re-fabric and engine, I'd really like to have someone in the know take a look.

It has been hangared and covered from the elements in the hangar by sheets since new. I know the owner/pilot and do trust him, but.... I don't want to end up with a plane that needs fabric and an engine plus the purchase price.

I'm willing to pay someone for their time and expertise, imagine that!

Thanks for any advice.

Steven
