• 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 removed the control rod and fixed the right elevator trim tab and that helped lessen the sensitivity. i also noticed and do not like a kind of neutral feeling when deflecting ailerons about 1" with no tendency to return to neutral and very little roll of the wings...
then if you move the stick a little more you get lots of roll and resistance on the stick.
My test pilot says close the slots from aileron to wing but i am not sure as the only other biplane i have flown had the same slotted ailerons and delightful control feel.
We rigged all 4 ailerons in trail of the wing and have the std aluminum trailing edge.
