• 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.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hangared at Paine Field (KPAE) in Everett, WA.

I bought this Skybolt from the original builder. I have photo documentation of the build and all records/logs back to the maiden flight. I also have the Skybolt plans and the Firebolt supplements this airplane was built from with the builder's notes.

Please be local and either be insurable in an aerobatic biplane or willing to get the training.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]A Pitts S1S would fit really nicely in the hangar with the Skybolt and I'd be interested if someone wants to make a deal to split fixed costs and partner to have access to both a 1 & 2 seat biplane.

Thanks,
Matt Orr
