Hello I am new to this site and am very interested in purchasing an already flying Skybolt. I would like to know from owners the goods and the bads that I will be up against with the Skybolt??? I am new to the aerobatic world and cant wait to get involved with the ups and downs of it all. :) I am interested on how the airframe holds up upon your annual inspections?? Is there any known issues I should be looking for???

I am also new to the biplane/fabric world too. Although I have flown in a Skybolt that I am really really liking and also an Acroduster II. I still currently own a Cherokee that I am preparing for sale. I have flown the RV's and really do not like their aerobatic weight ratios. I want to perform aerobatics with someone aboard if I choose and not have to worry. Also be able to go to more advanced maneuvers as time passes.

So any good/bad answers I can get with Skybolt - airframe, performance, fabric, etc., etc..... would be much appreciated.

Thank you, David
