• 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 a 1.5 diameter axle that is requiring a spacer between axle plate and thewheel bearing race of 2.25" in length. I am using 1.625" x .050 tubing for the spacer. However, the bearing race has a large radius at the contact point. In otherwords, the end of tubing will not be contacting squarely on a flat of the bearing race. Has anyone elseseen this? Has it been a problem in operations? Am I concerned about nothing?
Thanks.
Dave
