• 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.

This is about the STOLP STARLET SA500 Is there more than 2 bays in the wing design to add more fuel tanks? The plane can carry 500 lbs less 132 in fuel as 22 gal. and Pilot of 150 leaves 218 lbs of extra weight like more fuel? is 36 more gal.of gas @-25 mpg is 981 miles add to the original 22 gal to 600 SM is 1581 total miles. Now I know how to route and plumb fuel tanks on a bigger scale just like to know more about the wing design.
