• 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.

Talk about a letdown... I've been working for 3 months on building a new landing gear for my Starduster and finally finished, welded up and ready to put the plane back on its wheels and maybe fly it this weekend... only to discover that the new axles I bought have a 1-1/2-12 thread, but my old axles (and the nuts I have) have 1-1/2-16 threads. I might be able to get a nut locally, but not the long nut needed for wheel pant mounting.

Any suggestions?
