    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.

Not biplanes, but open cockpits at least. ;-)


PIETENPOL & PARASOLS FLY-IN AUG 8 2010
Leicestershire Aero Club
Half price landing fees : £6.00 singles

The Pietenpol Aircamper was one of the first true amateur built aircraft to be made available to the public via plans serialised in a magazine. Now some 80 years later this US design is still being built by those who want an aircraft with the charisma of the 30s. There are very few other parasol wing designs flying today with perhaps the best known being the Luton Minor which was the first successful UK homebuilt.
