• 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.

I understand the S1T has the angle valve 200HP, CS prop and Symmetrical balanced ailerons but I also know it is quite a bit heaver than a Stock S1S with a performance prop and all the light accessories. We have all seen Eric S fly current day Unlimited sequences with his stock S1S, but assuming same pilot both aircraft which one has better performance.

Just to through another aircraft at the same price point in the mix, how do they both compare to the Lazer 200 listed for 65K on BS with a staudacher wing and the Whirlwind prop? Obviously much cleaner and great vertical penetration but also much high box speeds, higher G's with the straight back seat like the Pitts.

Cassidy's book show them both as slightly better performers.
