• 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 have read from the experienced, that anti chafe tape really needs to be very minimally applied, and builders often get carried away with it. I have read several times the same thing "you only need it on something that is sharp enough to make you bleed". So, based upon this premise, I plan on no anti chafe tape on the aileron ribs (ply, sanded/softened edges). Thoughts?

Also, my ailerons have the aluminium trailing edges, the square cut ends do have a 'hard corner', if I polish this corner to soften the feel of it, can I also forego anti chafe tape here?
