• 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.

Getting ready to start the aileron gap fairings in the aileron wells. Looks like there are at least five bends in these fairings, and I can seethey have to be built in two pieces because of the taper in the outboard bay. I plan to make patterns from card stock to get accurate dimensions and a good fit. Anybody have some tips on making these fairings. Has anybody made them in two pieces (top and bottom) with a seam running spanwise and then joined with flush rivets to insure a glove fit? Can anyone steer me to some good photos of these fairings on the forum. Thanks.
