    • 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.
    • 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.

Two questions, I used the "circle method" but the 1/4 circles forward of the spar don't cover the cap strip completely (using a 2 1/2 dia. circle). Is this an issue? Secondly, and this makes the first question redundant, the Steen manual recommends that he gussets forward and aft of the spars be made out of a single piece of ply-how wide? Does anyone have a photo of a built up rib with these changes?
