• 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.

It’s not really hurting anything, but my right bellcrank has more play around the bolt/bearings than I would like and I’d love to fix it. Just tightening it down isn’t what I have in mind. I’d like to get the bellcrank out to check it out and replace it if needed as well as add a spacer between the inner race of the bearings as suggested in an earlier post. So my question really comes down to how to handle a dime sized hole I would have to put in the top of the lower wing to get the bolt up through. Patch? Plug? I’m no good at painting and limited knowledge with fabric. Either way, just looking at all options. Thanks
