• 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.

Bud Lyon from Idaho bought an Acroduster One project and is up to the point of his first flight. He has a lot of tailwheel time but none in biplanes. So Since I have an Acroduster One he contacted me for information and to ask about necessary skill sets. I said the only way to know was to have him come down to Chico and fly for a weekend in my Starduster Too and I would help give him some transition training. Well he came down this weekend and did well. He can now land and take off for the front seat with adequate control doing slips, 3-points and wheel landings. We also did some basic aerobatics to get him into the groove as well as the whole spin series. I look forward to hearing about his first flight in his new Acroduster One soon.
