• 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.

Hello, My first forum post EVER. Anywhere. Longerons kinked (very, very slight amount, more like a tiny bulge) while coaxing to tailpost. I bent tubing per plans (heat inside cluster, bend slowly). Kinks in lower longerons are covered up by the "V" shaped diagonals between the two lower longeron. The guys in the local chapter sain it wasn't a big deal and to press on. Maybe slap ona finger patch in those areas. I'm gettig ready to start on the gear and beforeI continue I would like a little advise. Scrp it or keep it.


Thanks,
Zach
