• 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 All. My CB-1 came without much documentation. I have a weight & balance but nothing that shows the forward and aft limits. My W&B shows a Gross Weight of 1700. What do you use? Is there a structural limit for individual seat weight limits? I suspect there is some variances from build differences, but can someone give me some general parameters?

I'm also looking for the "important" airspeeds. I'm using 60kt as climb-out and over the fence speeds but it would be nice to know Best Glide, Best Climb, Best Angle.

Thanks,
Dave
