• 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.

A local Skybolt builder wishes to sell an almost ready to fly project. He isn't an internet type of guy, so he has asked me to post this for him. The plane is at Lakeway, Austin, Texas. $47K OBO. PM me for his contact details, if interested.I have seen the build several times, and it looks good quality. The engine has been rebuilt. The rebuild was done by a local engine guy - who I know very well (he's also our chapter EAA tech counselor, I plan on using him for my engine rebuild).uploads/20110928_063701_N51PR_logs22222.pdf
