• 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.

While doing lazy 8s I notice past 45 degrees of roll in a left pullup I need to put in right aileron to counter an overbanking tendency. I have never experenced this before. My friend who is a member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots says this is spiral instability, Has anyone seen this in a Hatz? Roger Moore
