• 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.

The tube under the seat in my S1 that links to the ailerons (I'm sure it has a name) is the topic of today's question. In order to remove ALL play in the tube I have to crank the collars down to the point where the ailerons are very stiff. Is a slight amount of play OK in this tube? I mean a very slight amount, like I have to pull really hard to move it an iota.

Thanks.

Doug
