• 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.

After our lengthy debate on the S1-11 vs the S1ss there is still one more option. The certified S2S has been thestarting grounds for the mega Pitts for thelikes of Jim LeRoy, Sean Tucker, and Skip Stewart. Even the lastWolf Pro Pitts looks to me to be close to the S2S fuselage. With no complete drawings available for the S2S why is the S1-11 fuselage not the preference. It's smaller and thus lighter, shorter and less wingspan. Seems to me to be a better starting point for the hot rod Pitts.
Sorry Ron (Badvenom). I don't mean to add more confusion to your decision. Just ignore this thread and get building your S1-11. I should probably do the same!!!
