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.

A guy came to the shop with his cessna 337 for an annual on friday. was telling me about a trip out to dayton he made last week. said they had been giving rides in a replica wright flyer, and he just missed a good opportunity. they had one down for servicing, and the other was disassembled to go on a "road tour". they said the one would be down for 2 days while he was there. maybe, it turned out to be good luck for him...... id be interested in finding out exactly what happened but it seems a regular trip to 3-5K with it was normal....hmm. sad news....
