• 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.

I'm getting close to completing my wings and have a question for those who have traveled this path.

I have the internal flying wire hardware.
What have you done to gain access for installation and adjustment of the flying and landing wires to the retaining pin?
(also, I am sure that I will need to tighten the 4 bolts of the aluminum plates, after the wire to retaining pin is aligned, after rigging)

When the ply leading edge is installed. When the fabric is completed it is too late, so something has to be constructed prior to covering.

I am thinking access panels that can be removed. Maybe a spruce frame within the rib bay, that I can screw on an access panel after the paint?

Any photographs would be appreciated.

A couple of pictures below to show what I am talking about.
(this is a lower wing that is upside down)
