• 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.

Just out of interest after a couple of recent fatal aircraft accidents here in Australia, where the accident itself has not been fatal but the fire that followed. Has anyone ever fitted a bladder type fuel tank to a rag and tube aircraft?
What are the pro's and cons?
Just seems like a good idea in the type of aircraft we fly where the fuel tank can be sitting on your lap, which would not be ideal come an accident.
