• 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.

At one time there were five Acro Sports being built in the area. With so many sets of small parts to make we created simple folding dies to make the otherwise sometimes difficult bends. In one photo is a jig drilled master template for use with a transfer punch to lay out the parts.

Just a little food for thought. There is another die set in my gallery. The dies were used in an arbor press.
