My son’s 6th grade class wants to build an airplane play structure (likely with significant parental involvement) that resembles a Pitts S-2B (or some other open cockpit biplane). 
 

Does anyone have any experience with something like this. I was thinking of reaching out to my local EAA chapter but I was just wondering if there was any wisdom regarding projects like that that someone would be willing to pass on.

I have experience with something like that. At age 6 I too wanted to build an open cockpit biplane. At the time I hadn't attended any EAA homebuilt forums, so I was on my own. It was glorious. The first photo is the result (1956).  The second photo is what it looked like to my 6-year-old eyes.
