• 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.

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?
