• 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 to the point where I am going to order some alum. to start making the skins and cowl for my Starduster. I see the main suppliers offer the material, .025 thick etc., in 4 foot wide material. Most of my belly and side skins will end up being between 2 and 3 feet wide and seems like I will end up with a fair bit of waste.


Is this just how it works out or is there other size material that is available that will work better?


Don't want to order a bunch of material and end up with allot of waste if there are other options I'm not aware of. Thanks, Bob
