• 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.

We do not have finger plates at the top fittings of the cabane, is this normal or should they be added?
As you can see in the photo, with the instr panel at 10 1/2" high and the current firewall the nose bowl is about 2 1/2" low. Best we can tell from the certified S1S plans the firewall is high. Any builders out there with 200hp have info on the bigger engine clearing the cowl if we straighten the line from the panel to the nose bowl?
