    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.

Some idiot bought a new Gyrocopter and brought it over to our airport to learn how to fly it. The guy went out on a limb and bought it. Didn't even tell his wife. Well he unloaded it from a trailer and got in (or on it?) with his instructor. As soon as he took it off the ramp he lost control on the taxiway. It came down a hill in the grass and chopped the tail off this twin. LOL! Glad I was not standing there. WOW! Thats all I could say.... WOW!
