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.

Looking for some help. Im finishing a clip wing taylorcraft project another guy started. He installed 1" diameter .049 6061 compression tubes. This plane will be for acro. Id this strong enough? Do I have to worry about it cracking. Yhey need to be made new to put plywood reinforcement s behind each fitting to carry load. So steel could be used. Also cable drag wires are getting replaced eith 10-32 wire. Thanks in advance. Trevor
