• 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.

Thought I'd start a new thread as a follow up to all the discussion about Skybolt/Stardusters with 540's. I got it all together this morning and pushed up on the scales. EW came in at #1339. Tail wheel came in at #83. I ran max and minimum loadings and was comfortably in the envelope. What a huge relief in this step of the journey. A bit more fairing work with a few cosmetics and it will be ready to leave the shop.
