• 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.

Tonight I was doing touch and goes. Dave B told me it would probably bounce like a yo yo with those heavy duty shock rings and it does. But the point is I was cruzing along looking at all those parts that must hold up to keep me out of a urn when I notices the top wing does not have any access holes. Access on top with 3 sheets of alu at the cabane struts but on the bottom side it has 3 rings on each side but they have not been cut out and a cover installed. Built in 1990 and never seen rain until I got it. Should I make them open or leave well enough alone. Maybe I don't want to see in there. Everything looks great through the top access.
