• 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 attachment of the aluminum cowl to the nose bowl does not have a smooth finish to it. There are small puckers in a few places that I would like to fill or build up the nose bowl so that they are smoothed out. Does any one have any suggestions on the best way tohandle this.Can't very well glass over the area due to the difference in expansion and contraction of the fiberglass nose bowl and the aluminum. I have seen the same in some pictures of other Acro II's but there must be some way to eliminate it.Thanks,Tad
