    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.

These 3 Sling HW planes flew over 8,000 nm one way from South Africa to Oshkosh. They had additional tanks with 150 gals total about 2,600nm range. At one point in Ghana they paid $8.50 per liter or about $5,000 to fill up each plane. And i was feeling sorry for myself one hour South of Oshkosh that used 10 gals!
