• 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 am rebuilding a 79 Skybolt. All the fabric was removed when I bought the plane and I am now about to cover the ailerones.
When inspection the profiles I noticed that the leadingedge ply is above the ribs. This seems to be according to the plans and manual, but how will this look after covering? Is this something to worry about and should be changed?
I have never covered an aileron before and the Stewarts system dvds and 43-13 are mye best friends.
Thanks for all help
