• 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.

I've just finished installing a canopy on my Bolt. The fiberglass skirt is about as good as I can make it, but there are still some small gaps at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, in front. I haven't test flown it yet, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever put some sort of gasket between the skirt and the aluminum "skin" of the fuselage, to perfect the "seal".

Recommendations?
