• 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 posted on another thread and probably should have started a new one . I am curious as to the possibility of the Ultimate Biplane or Ultimate Pitts being flown without the canopy . Their canopy is rather large , compared to the standard Pitts sliding canopy . I've read on threads here that the Pitts can be flown in normal flight and even can be landed with the canopy open . Would there be too much interruption in the airflow over the tail assembly on the Ultimate canopy equipped planes to remove it or has it been attempted by anyone here on the forum ?
