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.

All the talk about chutes made me start to address my parachute issues. I had my chutes rejected by a rigger for some corrosion on the hardware.
Thanks to Wes, and doing some research I now feel like I've got good info and my older chutes are safe and useable.

Don Mayer got clarification from the FAA and the letter is attached.
Good info.
