    • 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.

Look at Barnstormers once in a Blue Moon - was surprised to see this felt some attention should be drawn to it.

It would seem if it is one the O-320 Homestead S1C's it should be of interest. 1967 fits but the builder is listed as Spencer. Assume the seller has background to state it is a Homestead build.

I had the opportunity to buy an O-320 Homestead S1C in the mid-90's (New Jersey based) and I've been kicking myself ever since for not going through with it - the owner was rather unpleasant so I just walked away.

Lake George is an easy day trip for me if anyone wants me look over it for them.
