    • 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.

Pitts N46GP had its first flight Sunday morning, July 25, 2021 following a 23 year restoration. Previously registered as N46CC it is a Homestead factory Pitts Special S1S s/n 1-0012. I obtained this aircraft in 1995 and flew it until Sept 1998 when I started a restoration that lasted until this morning! It flew beautifully. Looking forward to many more hours in the air!
