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.

Is there a big difference to a real Skydiving Parachute vs the one I use doing my training in the Pitts? If not, could I purchase a Skydiving Parachute instead a softie for example, so that I actually could use the parachute to jump at a Drop Zone? Since the parachutes are not cheap, that would be a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.
