• 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.

Hello,

Long time lurker first time posting. I have acquired a beautiful Skybolt project and have started the restoration project. I look forward to continuing the process and have gained some valuable info from the members on here. Thanks for the input from everyone.

Skybolt was originally built in the late 70's
Frame is in great shape with one small repair to tail post from hanger rash after aircraft was disassembled.

Metal leading edges that I am leaning towards converting to wood.

O360 that will be torn down and refurbished.

Quite a bit to do.

Thanks,

Dave Hughes
Project located east of Louisville.
