• 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.

Guys, I'm a new member to the forum so pardon all the questions. I am considering a mostly complete Skybolt project. Apparently it was started about 20 years ago and is mostly complete. I'm thinking about looking at it. My question is: What do I look for? Glue joints, welding, builders log etc. Should I take my local EAA Technical advisor along. Sounds like the project need some TLC but I want to make sure it is of quality construction. Also, I would imagine it was constructed with the old gear, if so should I build the new gear as per the newer plans?


Thanks for the help
