• 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 all,


I'm new here, but I've been monitoring the forums for a while. I'm a student pilot, completed the GFPT and about to start navs. I have a question; I would dearly like to own a Pitts S1S one day, but I have one concern - I'm 191 cm (6'4") tall and I'm not sure whether I'll fit in one. I have flown both the Pitts S2A and S2C from the front seat and found the accommodation tight, but bearable for a 30 - 45 minute aerobatic sortie. I should add I wasn't wearing a parachute (they're not a requirement in Australia). How does the cockpit of the S1S compare? Are there any six-foot-something Pitts pilots out there? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to shell out for a Pitts only to find I can't get in it!
Thanks in advance, Adrian.
