• 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 we go again! The itch has returned.

So i'm missing the biplane so much I've got to create another. I love my Fairchild 24, she's a sweet heart, but I need open cockpit again. I've been pouring over biplane plans and drawings for the last year. My first ground up biplane was Starduster N459K and I still love that plane but she belongs to someone else now. My original attraction of biplanes began with the Waco and so here I go.
CTO, Taperwing.... Or CTO-ish
I've studied all the drawings and books I could find and love the design. I thought at first I could incorporate modern design detail tricks into it but have found the original engineers tn the 30's have done a pretty good job.
This may change as I get further into the build but for now it's to the drawings.

So Here We Go!
