• 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've got my API Tailwheel now and the round spring rod for it. The tailwheel comes with a 3/16" pilot hole, so I just need to drill through the rod. Reading on the Van's forum, there seems to be a lot of discussion between using a 3/16" bolt or a taper pin. For those of you using the API what are you using to secure the tailwheel to the spring?
