• 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.

Hello,
Long time listener First time caller

I am scratching the surface at the prospect of buying a 40 yr old Starduster Too with original fabric.

It has been well kept up but does show its age somewhat.

I was considering actively flying it and over the course of several years doing a piecemeal refurb during the down months. Including replacing the fabric, none of this is truly pressing.

It does not need a rebuild, but I would like to spruce it up 100% inside and out going forward.

Any advice on this approach to an older yet decent homebuilt.

Thank you community,

Kevin

PS. any stardusters near alpharetta. Ga.?
I'm flying south for XMas
