• 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.

Drawings I got from Steen some time back didn't deal with any rigging information for the Skybolt R. For instance, where is upper wing located relative to station zero? I can see lower wing being moved forward about 8". Where are the main gear wheels located? On the Pitts 12 & 14, the wheels are just behind or almost directly at station zero. (Firewall) I've got a pretty good bunch of information on the Pitts 12 and think that perhaps the Skybolt R would/should be close to the Pitts 12. Anyone got any more information on the Skybolt R?


Perhaps we need a whole 'nuther topic with nothing but Skybolt 'R' stuff.Edited by: pelican
