• 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.

Is turning a reasonably complete Skybolt Standard into a Radial Skybolt a possibility (I guess anything is possible given enough time and money). This question is geared toward those that have first hand experience with both types and can elaborate on what you have to do to make a standard into a airworthy radial platform. All I can find so far is that the landing gear struts must be extended and the frame members beefed anything else would be a god sent.
