• 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.

Well it's been interesting flying off my phase 1 40 hours with what I thought was a pretty finished airplane but ended-up being a work in progress. Of coarse 90% of that was the owner/builders fault NOT the airplane. Indeed I felt the Acroduster 2 was a turn key airplane. It flew well from the start with trim right in the middle. It's been well behaved and honest and most of all met my goal of being LSA compliant as a single place airplane. It's taken me from Dec. 2015 until today burning almost $2000 worth of gas which was one of the reasons for the delay. But here we are today,

I managed to get a shot of the Tach while flying which was harder than I thought, you have to pick a mode and then get a shot before it went away.....
