• 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.

Factory fuselage never used. Has original paint and stamp near wobble pump bracket. It has been modified with a support tube between the cabanes, finger plates over some of the more stressed areas (cabane to fuse structure etc), support tube near horizontal stab (see picture), and the seat has been reclined. All of the modification work looks to be professionally done/welded and was done in the interest of strengthening the aircraft. Included are factory bungee gear, engine mount, control stick, and torque tube. There are also a few non factory parts such as two sets of horizontal stab and elevators (one squared off and one normal), one squared off rudder, various push rods, and rudder pedals. This fuselage was the one used by Steen to build their fuselage jig.

The wing kit was put together by Hale Wallace. I am told this was done in exchange for letting him use the fuselage to make his jigs. It has stick built ribs (pre built in kit), SS type ailerons, and plywood leading edges. The drag wires are there but there is no other wing hardware. There is material to build I struts but they are not built.

There are a few other odds and ends that will come with such as a used canopy (plastic only no hardware).

$5500 obo for everything except the wing kit

Everything is located in Havelock, NC
