• 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 had a look at the Ultimate for sale in the classifieds here today. Put a deposit on it and will be bringing it back home next week. Apparently quite a few of the people inquiring about the kit were concerned about the factory welds. To my untrained eye they looked good to me. I’ll post a couple of pictures here, they’re not the greatest quality, I’ll post better ones in a few days. I’d appreciate some expert opinions. The owner thinks they’re Tig welds.

Cheers
