• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. 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.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. 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.

Drill and ream horizontal tubes

I chucked one of the horizontal tubes in my MicroLathe so that I could get a perfectly centered hole drilled. First I used a center drill to mark the hole. Then drilled with an under-sized drill bit. Then reamed to size. (Note: turn the reamer by hand.... not with the motor.)
