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.

A friend of mine fly's a Velocity and he sent me this. The plane (not my friends)was in cruise configuration when the failure occurred (as I was told but there is some question) but had just recently been racing in one of the sport classes. I suspect it being on a pusher, the interrupted flow to the propeller had a good bit to do with the failure.
