• 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.

Hey everyone, my name is Trevor Robinson. I’ve been reading through this forum for months and I thought it’s about time I introduce myself and my current project. I purchased 222AP back in December and have been going through the airplane getting it airworthy.
My great uncle built this airplane and first flew in 1998. It had an 0-360 and he put a total of 8 hours on it until he lost his medical. He then decided the 180hp was too much for the plane and swapped it out for an 0-320 (unfortunately for me). It received its updated airworthiness certificate in 2006 but never flew. It sat in his hangar ever since and that’s where I came in.
After pulling the wings we trailered it to Pearland Regional. So far I have gone through the aileron control systems and rerigged the wings. Currently I am going through the motor and reworking the fuel system to match the plans specs.
