• 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.

I've noticed variation in the rudder size among S-1S models. Some have a more rounded shape, about the same size as the vertical fin. Others are significantly smaller and less rounded in shape.


Does anyone know the background and significance regarding performance differences, pros/cons, and whether thedesign isspecific to factoryvs. experimental models?


Thanks
Eric
