    • 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.

My Smith went down to a forced landing as a result of carburetor ice on 11/27 (NTSB preliminary report). It's gone-the swamp was the only option. From 800 feet to the crash site in twenty seconds. I thank God I'm here today. Perfect 3-point landing roll for 8 feet before it sunk 14" into the muck, then flipped and stopped. That was mud on the back of my head. We concluded that I do not have "sh*t for brains" as stated by the wife to the media. It really was mud honey:) Get to work Boys. Where's my new Smith Miniplane?

I'd like a new one with any engine combination (excluding O-290) prerably inverted systems, structurally sound & decent fabric but not to picky about how rough the paint looks. This airplane will fly 3-4 days a week about 15 minute sorties and hung back up to dry. Please keep your ears to the walls. I'd like to have it in my stocking for Christmas. A&P with Cash in hand. Call me 352-344-5678.
