• 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.

First for some introduction. I decided my next project will be a Skybolt (bought the plans at SnF); I finished a RV-10 back in 2009. My reason for the Skybolt was fairly simple, I want to scratch build an airplane. The RV's are beautiful airplanes, but I have learned about aluminum, time to learn a new skill. Plus - I want to join the club of builders, not just assemble a kit. I am a fairly young guy (35), no wife, no kids, by day I am a mechanical engineer. I am planning for this project to take 8 to 10 years.

Now for my question, I have been searching for a good tubing supplier since Dillsburg is apparently closing up. I have looked at Wicks, Aircraft Spruce and Airplarts Inc. Anyone else I should be looking at?

Thanks - Jason
