• 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.

Just going over flying wire hardware i have, befor i make the #144 bracket parts here and im noticing the flying wire terminal ends are aluminum (not ss or steel) , there stamped an665 etc, look good, checked them to verify correspond to the dimensions on an665 chart to make sure they are correct 5/16threaded and proper spec for the 3/8 pin (incase someone drilled em/not thank goodness)
Im just curious on thoughts as the purdy SS flying wires have alum ends vs the steel or ss terminal ends only avail now..
Any thoughts on this ?, an issue or am i over thinking this due to the scarcity of sacred alum hardware ...
Martin.
