• 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.

Hi everyone! I am rebuilding a Pitts S1S after a forced landing... After "touching" the terrain, the plane groundlooped and damaged its right bottom wing and right gear.
The pictures shows that both spars are cracked and I am now looking for your help...
1- What is a nice way to change the spars? I found a kit on Acft Spruce P/N 02-07800. Do you think it is applicable to the S1S wings?
2- Do you know the spars dimensions?
3- What do you guys suggest for a close eye inspection after a ground loop?
Thanks!
