Wanting information on EAA biplane. It doesn't seem to be considered aerobatic, why. Has anyone tried replacing the wings with something else, perhaps acro duster wings

Why do you assume the wings are the weak point -- if there is a weak point?
What would you require for proof that a modified EAA biplane is indeed strong enough for aerobatics? I suspect there isn't any documentation of the loading of the stock wings.

Why not just build an Acro Sport??

It’s about as aerobatic as any other 100-125 hp biplane
If you have a set of Starduster wings why would you put anything but a Starduster fuselage between them?
Best of luck

Not necessarily thT they are weak, but going on the duster performance figures, they are a really good performer, both in speed and aeros.Originally Posted by cwilliamrose
Confirmation that someone had proven them beyond rolls and loops. On the paperwork I have, they are rated to + and - 9, but my plane wears a placard that prohibits aerobatic maneouvers.
I have built an RV6A, and love it, but my aerobatic attempts are reaching the safe limits of the RV. I don't have enough time left to build another plane, but perhaps a set of wings would be possible
Thanks, I suspect that you are right, but I'm looking for something more. An Acroduster appeals to me, but very hard to find
