• 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.

Fabed the coil springs from Wag Aero today and came up with problem at first fitting. The long tube is the smaller one and the one at the top is 1" that has to fit in a 7/8" space...so cut and flattened the end to fit, no info on where to locate the spring so i decided 3" from center of bolt to edge of collar that left enough room to weld finger strap. Used 32" center to center of bolts which puts lots of camber in the wheels with it off the ground.
Please comment but not so much that i have to scrap them and order another pair at $270.
