• 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.

Taildragger, i hateyour guts,
I have the license, ratings and such
But to make you go straight is driving me nuts.
WIth hours of teaching and the controls in my clutch,
It takes a little rudder, easy, thats too much.


You see, I learned to fly in a trycycle gear,
with one in the front and two in the rear.
she was sleek and clean and easy to steer,
but this miserable thing with wires and such,
takes a little rudder, easy thats too much.


It demands your attention on the takeoff roll,
or it'll head towards jones as you pour on the coal.
gotta hang loose, dont overcontrol.
just a little more rudder, thats way too much.


This wicked little plane is just too much
with alot of zigzagging and words obscene,
I think ive mastered this slippery machine.


its not that bad if you have the touch,
just a little rudder, easy, thats too much.


I relax for a second and from the corner of my eye,
i sudden realize with a gasp and a cry,
thats my own tail that went wizzing by!


You groundlooping wreck, i hate your guts,
give a little rudder, oh $hit thats way too much!
