• 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.

Hi Folks, I am about to assemble my wings and will need drag wires soon. It would be good to get the flying wires at the same time. The question is, is it too risky to order the plans specified flying wire lengths or do I wait until I have the plane assembled?I haven't started the fuselage yet so adjustments can be made later. Has anyone done just this and then wished any of the wires were different? If so what were they and what lengths did you end up with? I will probably increase wing incidence byone degree in order to improve visibility over the nose as I will not be inverted very often. I don't think this will make much difference to the wire lengths. Any opinions appreciated, Regards, Trev.
