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.

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.

Why become a Subscribing Member?

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).

Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I feel like I've been over posting lately but this one sucks. Was told the gear mod was done when I bought it but that wasnt the case. I had it stripped down for new prop/mixture cables, and an engine monitor. Thought I would flip up the carpet and check for cracks. Not good news. Unfortunately this is outside of my capabilities so it won't be cheap.
