    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.

It's a '68 S1C that was built and flown by my friend Bill Bentzen. He quit flying it in '85. It's got about 300 TT, O-320, 704 empty weight, original cotton and aluminum ribs (!). Anyone know anything about the ribs?

It's quite a time capsule and will be a neat rebuild/restoration after I get done with my current project.

I've owned a lot of unusual airplanes but this my first Pitts.
