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.

Regarding the gross weights of the S2S and the S2B, any idea why the S2B has a greater Gross weight than the S2S? Are they basically the same airplane? How do the guys that modify Pitts determine the max weight? I noticed that the Raven has a gross weight of 1780Lbs compared to 1700Lbs for the S2B.Reason I am asking is that I have a S2S that is bit heavy and cant operate in the aerobatic category with more than 4 gallons of fuel onboard, not much use in a Pitts. Have already put the Pitts and myself on an extensive diet, and that’s the best we can do! Any Suggestions?
