• 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.

One of our members posted recently , pictures of this red Smith , and I believe that he stated that his uncle had built and flown it to Oshkosh . He also mentioned that his uncle had been inflicted with , I believe Polio . I knew that I had taken a pictures of his plane and even had the opportunity to talk to him about it . That was almost 40 years ago and I cannot remember the conversation but I can remember thinking that he was one of the nicest guys that I had talked to there at the OSH . I had my Smith at that same time but never had it there . I also remember being really impressed that he accomplished this with hurtles that most of us cannot realize . This is the only picture that I could find but I know that I had
