• 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 everyone.

I’ve just finished building and tacking the bungee style landing gear together for my s1 project.
I’ve offset the the top bumper tube 3/8 down from the centreline of the fwd attachment bush as specified on the drawing.
The fwd landing gear mounting bracket on the fuselage shows the dimension down to the centreline of the bush to be 5/8. Giving a total of an inch from the fuselage bracket to the top of the bumper tube.
On the other drawing however...it shows the rubber block to be 3/4 of an inch???
Has anyone run into this issue before?...and will it affect anything if the rubbers are an inch heigh and I modify the channel they sit in to have slightly higher sides?
Hope I’ve explained this well enough! I’ve attached some pictures of the drawings in question.

Thanks in advance for any help!
