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.

We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction).

So I was showing a colleague at work Chris's Acrosport build and it took me back to the start 7 years ago. I didn't recognize the kid working on it. Thought it would be interesting to see how people have changed over the years during their builds.

Not unlike Ricky from "Trailer Park Boys" Chris is rarely seen without a cocktail in his hands now, but at the start I don't believe he was old enough to partake.
