• 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.

So as winter is almost upon us, and being in a coastal area I have a few winter projects on the Skybolt. One is removing all the aileron hardware and getting it bead blasted and powder coated as some surface rust has started to form. It looks pretty straight forward except for removing the brackets that are bolted to the aileron itself. I can’t tell if there is a nutplate or something similar holding the bolt or if I will need to remove part of the fabric around the attach hardware on the aileron to get the bracket off.

if anyone has the aileron plans and cares to weigh in on an exploded view of the aileron attach hardware it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
