• 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.

Howdy all,
Getting some scanning done. I realized that in the various lots of photos I've gathered over the years, I have a good amount of Stampe SV-4 pics, almost all from the 70s. I think most are from and around the PA/NJ area. Sal Labate was, as Budd D. in his Stampe article described, the guy who really started bringing them in. Most of these pics are probably from his operation. I'd love to know more of course about each. Were there any before Labate? The Labate story is, if anyone ever looked into it.....well....interesting to say the least. These are 12SV and 14SV which were Labate's demo ships I believe. I just saw 12SV at Cherry Ridge a few weeks ago.
Enjoy!
