• 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 have late 1980’s built Acroduster SA750 with the infamous / notorious eye bolt cabane struts. Given the recent accident event, I have decided to build new cabane struts that eliminate the eyebolts (conforming to the Starduster design.) I received, and truly appreciate, couching from several individuals on this forum and may reach out to all of you from time-to-time for your experiences and first-hand wisdom to resolve installation issues. I Thank You in Advance.

I am attaching picture of the original cabane struts in this initial thread and will post progressive images as I proceed with the replacement struts. I am working with an A&P mechanic / fellow builder who is highly experienced with biplanes.
