• 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.



Wings-flat bottom vs symmetrical?

There's an S-1D for sale that I'm interested in. It has the flat bottom wings. What's the 'down side' to these wings? Less aerobatic? Would someone (like me) who just wants to go up and learn aerobatics and have fun notice the difference between the S-1D wings and the S-1S wings? Are these 'older' planes not in favor anymore with the newer ones available now?

I'm just looking fro someone with experience in these planes to help guide me along and help me decide if this is worth pursuing.

THanks!
