• 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.

Recently obtained a skybolt in Mobile Al. To get it airworthy again the wings need to be rigged. I have the plans and looking at the task at hand I feel as if this is as much as an art as well as following directions. The plane is located in Bay Minette and I was wanting to see if there is anyone in the Alabama/Florida/Mississippi area that may be willing to come and give us a hand. We will compensate for time as well as hotels/travel. We want it done right and so we are willing to pay for your expertise. Although I am aware this is probably something we could figure out, we would rather have someone present that has done it before and this will allow us to learn from “your” mistakes rather than find out on our own 😂

Wings are mounted. I’ll post pic so you can see the current condition. I can also obtain any specific tools I may need or rent yours if able.
