• 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.



Some sad news about the Tiny Stearman and it's owner.

Folks I am sorry to report but there has been an incident at the Castroville TX airport... Chris and his Baby Great Lakes were involved in a crash on the runway... Some reports say he was on the ground rolling and a main wheel went in to a hole.. The plane went up on it's nose very hard and one report says a landing gear strut penetrated the fuel tank, either way a fuel fire broke out immediately.. .Chris managed to get out of the plane on his own, Paramedics found him near the plane. Reportedly he has severe burns on his hands and lower legs... He is in serious condition in the hospital now... News4SA. in San Antonio has the initial story on their web site. Incident happened yesterday about 1:30pm... Our thoughts and prayers for Chris and his wife and family.
