• 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.

Those of you using 4130 for drag/antidrag wires, what did you use for the coating? I initially used the polyfiber epoxy primer. It requires topcoat and went bad pretty quickly without.

I'm thinking of powdercoating the rods, installing them in place, cleaning the threads up to the brace blocks, installing the nuts, then hand painting the exposed threads. I want to be sure these are durable because they won't be accessible behind wooden leading edges.

What have members used successfully? especially those who have had their planes for many years..or years of experience with a particular product.
