• 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 do not have a set of plans for the two hinge aileron wings I am rebuilding. So I am leaving one wearing assembled as I rebuild the other.
I have looked but cannot find any reference to the cutout size for the aileron actuator that sticks up from the top of the wing.

Does anybody have a picture or even better, a picture of the plans that show this opening In the top of the wing.?

Left to my own devices I will probably scribe an arc using the actuator bolt hole and widen it as wide as a wide area washer for some unknown arc amount. Of course I want this holl be a small and precise as possible. Well for some reason I can’t seem to attach a photo… Anymore
