• 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, I am a fresh first time Skybolt owner and my plane is in good shape (1977, IO540, Constant Speed Prop), however I am missing some important documentation, especially on weight & balance (as well as a handbook).I found some handy documentation on how to calculate and measure CG & Weight and Balance (FAA-H-8083-1A). I guess I have to recalculate the CG and arms. I found an A&P mechanic who can probably help me out on that, but I have no idea what the limits of CG for my plane are. Is that specific to mine or is there some data available which is valid for all Skybolts ?I appreciate your help and experience!
