• 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.

Our S-1S seems to have an unusually aft empty weight C.G. The current W&B says she weighs 836 empty and empty weight C.G. is 61.4. That seems a bit aft. We have an Odesy 580 battery behind the seat, a metal prop, and an APS tailwheel on a stinger type spring. There is nothing obvious that should make her unusually tail heavy.

What are other S-1S owners seeing for your empty weight C.G.? We will re weigh ours this week.

Thanks,

Bruce
