• 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.

From dad's collection. These are mostly Taperwings, but there is one of what may be a Laird (?) with maybe a very young Nick Rezich servicing, Roy Timm's Waco RNF (spring gear), and Art Davis' NR-280W clipped wing the '?' (no kidding, that's what he called it). Dad thought the young man at the right wingtip was Art's son.

The reason the shock struts are so low on 665N (the last pic) is that it was the only way to get it into the hangar.

Oh, and there's no black trim on the top cowling of 655N because it is immediately post cowling-mounts-letting-go-and-cowling-going-into-prop unhappiness.
