• 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.

For those in colder climates, how to you hangar your birds during winter and snowy season? Is anything besides a warmed hangar an option? How bad would moisture be in non-warmed tent-like hangars or tents for the 3-4 months, both for the wooden as well as metal parts?

We average –5 °C / 23 deg F in January, with extremes close to -30 °C / -22 deg F. For sure the minus is not bad since it tends to be dry, the worst being anything near the melting point and slushy snow season.

Any other tips for winter maintenance, flying and handling?
