• 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.

So, I’ve collected a bunch of pieces I’m gonna assemble into a Pitts like airplane.
I bought a set of Flat wings for a bargain and with a few mods will go with the fuse that Tom in Indy gave me the long deal on.
A friend is helping with some of the mods and his airplane has the M6 but he swears the top wing is a modded version of the M6. I plywooded the leading edge 25 yrs ago but didn’t notice anything that indicated it was modified. His thinking is that it is “rounder” like the S has differing airfoils for stall characteristics.
Has anyone seen or heard of this being done on flat wing?
His was the only flat wing I’ve flown, so I don’t know if it performs like any others.
