    • 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.

Finally, after about 25 years, I actually did something to the Acro Sport besides move the box around. Naturally, I immediately ran into something that puzzles me.

The butt ribs on the center section have grooves cut into the bottom capstrip to accommodate the front attach fittings. Is that normal? I don't see anything about it on the drawing, but those aren't highly detailed drawings anyway.

In the process of looking through past threads to see if I could find an answer to this, I was disappointed to find that I couldn't see the pictures in Smizo's build thread (part 1 - didn't check the others). Is that just something I'm doing wrong? I don't have the same goals, skills, or tooling he does, but I was still counting on getting a lot of useful information from those threads.
