• 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.

Hi - new here - thanks for having me.

I would like to get an aerobatic aircraft that I can take others up in. I know the Christian Eagle has two seats, but, unless I am reading stats I have found on the internet wrong, the useful load is about 553 pounds - not a lot. So, with myself (170#'s), 12 gallons of gas (72#'s), 10 quarts of drain-able oil (20#'s), and some headsets(8#'s) - I use up 270#'s - that leaves 283#'s.

Can the aircraft be flown aerobically at max gross weight.

Also, please confirm for me that these aircraft have an "experimental" airworthiness certificate.

Thanks so much.

Ray
