• 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.

My Pitts project has a crack in the right brake caliper. It's a Gerdes brand caliper who have apparently been out of business for a long time. I've talked to Grove, Matco and Parker and none have a replacement for it. I'll call some salvage yards and see if they have one but I'm guessing that I'm going wind up replacing the entire wheel assemblies and torque plates. Any other suggestions?
