• 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.

What have any of you guys done as a safety latch to keep your s1 canopies from opening unwanted in flight?
I just got my new to me s1s on Friday and the latches like to occasionally vibrate loose on either side. My very first solo Pitts landing the canopy popped open in the pattern. Not a huge deal but was an unwelcome distraction while concentrating on finding my proper approach.

loving this plane and looking forward to tapping into the wisdom in this group.
