• 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.

Need to get the main gear off the ground and support it for a while. Need to Replace brake pads, rotors, refinish the wheels Etc. I lifted it with a floor jack & an oak 4x4 that I notched to lift on air frame near where the main gear attach one side at a time. Was Sketchy to say the least, it worked for inspection purposes but wouldn't trust it. searched the site, found a thread from 2017 about Jack Pads Etc. With an included link, when I try to access the link it says it is no longer available. There was a reply about something Ndtoo had made to lift with a floor jack in the link ????? But I can not access it.

Thanks Jeff N51MD
