• 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.

The person who crashed Sunday at our airport is known by everyone in our group. He was one of the first students who transitioned into helicopters when my Brother started his business 5 years ago.

I won't go into injuries but I will say he is alive.

What I know...

RV7A
IO-390
N1218B

His flight is available on adsb tracking. He flew from Texas to Huntsville non stop.

Then he flew all around our area. By my rough calculations he was totally out of fuel. Both my Brother and Brant agreed.

Why do I bring this up?

On Monday, while picking my fuselage up at 92nd West, I asked about the wrecked fuselage hanging from the ceiling of his shop. Don pointed to it and said "Don't try and extend your range in a Model 12"

Please be safe and make sure you have enough fuel...
