• 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 know the AcroSport is to be flown open cockpit, but....for those of us who want to fly year round and live in Michigan, a removable canopy works. I'm wondering if anyone out there hassome canopy latch ideas that would work on a slider? I'd like to be able to open from insideor outside and possible use something like a spring loaded plunger to lock the rail slide. The plunger on the top of a bi-fold door would be one example (only to large) and www.mcmaster.com has a spring plunger part number 8692a211 that might be a good starting point. Would appreciate any comments.
