• 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,
I'm currently looking to buy a DR-107 in Toronto area.

The registration # C-FLIK
Imported from USA in 2003: N# unknown for the moment

Builder info: William G. Berry & J.J. Tomlinson
Modification in the gear box area was performed by previous owner (Ron Smith) ~2003 (REF.: attached pictures)
NEW landing gear installed by the current owner (stiffer)

It's a little weird that the landing gear has been replaced (wrong sized gear) by a stiffer gear (added 2" of height and 4" of splay)
The canopy was also replaced because it was too soft (probably a canopy from a Sonerai)
Radius plates and blocks was added to reduce the stress on the longerons

The 1D has been for sale for a while now IAW my friends from the current owner & the past owner... it might due to a niche market

Do you have any information about this AC (crash history) & the builders (if everything was done as per DWG)?

Thanks for your time.

Mat
