• 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.

Not much of an update, but it is all part of "The Plan". Here is a photo from the end of my strip. All 3200' of it. I spent 50 hours sitting in a D5 Cat last week turning not so level into level and filling in a depression above a culvert I installed. Next step is much discing to break up the soil so i can bring a grader in. With a little luck i might even have an airplane to go with the runway one day! The Skybolt is currently sulking in the hanger of in the far distance on the left. Since buying the property I have had a windmill go in off the end, power lines on one side and finally a new house directly across the road, despite the fact that they had 100 acres to place it and were staring at my windsock the whole time they were planning it. I will have to displace the threshold as a result.

The good news is the hanger is 150' from the house, so when i do get time...."
