• 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 checked with Aviat for a new flop tube and the price is $270. Aircraft Spruce has one for about $75. When I got the plane it had a yellowish plastic flop tube which I replaced with one from Aviat that was of the braided stainless type.

So now that I have one of the appropriate length, is there any reason to give an extra $200 to Aviat or go with the Aircraft Spruce one?
