• 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.

So here's a question about a past practice that I haven't seen in my limited contest experience: overnighting on the spot. Hotels are a big expense at contests come with a corresponding car requirement. I'm not cheap. But I spend about 120 nights a year in hotels and I really hate them. Conversely, I spend about 2 nights a year in my sleeping bag. That's a ratio I'd like to change. I have heard that in earlier years it was common for at least a few contestants to stay inside the fence overnight. Is that ever done anymore? Does anybody know how to make a travel pod for a Pitts?
