• 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’ve made a deal on an S2E needing restoration. I plan to keep the parallel valve Io-360, stick a lighter sump, on it, pump it up a bit.
I’d like to lean the seats back a bit, and put a different landing gear on it. The Wolf gear is my preference but I’m not sure it will work on the A/E model.
It has symmetrical ailerons. Thinking about super stinker ailerons, but I don’t know enough to know if that is worth the effort.

Any input/ideas are welcome. How would you improve an S2?
