• 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 just called and talked with Tony, and the plane sounds like it is very very lightly used, but taken care of with pre-oiling, etc., and living in a heated hanger in Wisconsin, along with his P-51, T-6, et al.

It's the right color scheme: Pitts red/white burst.

The only real ding I can find is that it still has the original 1987 factory fabric. If this is not a problem in the immediate future (5 years?) then this sounds great for me. If it's more likely that it really need replacing sooner, that sounds like a $30k hit, at least.

He's asking $82,500

N287PS, still in Mexico with Mexican registration, is asking $95,000. It was recovered in 2009 after an off-field landing.

Thoughts? Both sounds pretty great.
