• 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 all,
The other day I mistakenly let my big friend sit in my S1 rebuild. Upon exiting he grabbed the rear cabane strut to extricate himself and it looked like the entire airplane was gonna fold up, the wings are not installed. I've looked at all of the welds and all look fine but is there more I need to do to make sure the strength was not compromised?

Thanks,

Kevin
