• 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 quite a few fittings ready to be drilled and finished. Just picked up a hand-held grinder/sander to finish the edges of them.


Was wondering what others were using to blast the surface rust off of the fittings before coating with primer ? The mecca of all tools cheap, Harbor Freight, has a table-top blaster for about $100.00. I was thinking that this, and a 50 lb bag of beadswould do the trick for me.


Comments.. suggestions ?
