• 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.

old thread new question......


so im starting the aileron hinges and im looking at the bearings/hinges, and the rep3h5 is a hollow shank bearing? i would think that the aileron hinge application requires a solid shank plus that one has a shoulder on the end. do you machine off the shoulder and stick it in the tube then rivit through it, even with a hollow shank? thanks in advance for clearing this up.....
