• 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.

Good afternoon all, I am involved in a couple of S1 projects right now and have a question about the grain orientation on the center section sheeting. I have two sets of drawing and neither of them specify the direction of the face grain. One of the wings I have here has the face grain oriented spanwise, the other had the grain running for and aft before I removed it to install a tank. Is there a right and wrong? The spanwise face grain seems wrong to me, should I be concerned?
I appreciate any and all advice. Thanks.
