• 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.

Just curious if anyone has experience flying the S-1T (symmetrical ailerons) without spades, and how the feel compares to S-1S (Frise) ailerons without spades. I've now flown a factory S-1T, and an experimental S-1 with T ailerons, both with spades. The aileron feel was very similar to how my S-1S felt when it had spades...and the reason why I immediately pulled the spades off. Just curious if the symmetrical ailerons are any heavier or feel differently from the Frise ailerons without spades. I cannot recall ever seeing an S-1T without spades. I was impressed with the additional roll rate of the T ailerons. Eric
