• 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.

I got a 25 hour Phase 1 fly-off from my DAR. So far I've done lots of inside stuff - 2011 Sportsman routine - and snaps and Immelman's. The airplane does all of these maneuvers easlily if not precisely due to its pilot. I've done inverted stalls, inverted spins (four turns with right rudder) and I've established that it will recover using the Beggs method reliably.This weekendI pushed outside for the first time doing three half outside loops from level flight (from the bottom) I now have 23.5 hours on the airplane and intend to ballast the front seat to 250 lbs to prepare for passengers.Myplan is tojust shoot a few touch and goes and start flying friends. Is this what most of you guys do or do youballast and go through the whole aerobatic regime again to clear out of Phase1?
