• 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 plan to have a whiskey compass in the rear panel. What measures do I need to take to ensure I avoid nasty magnetic fields? Degaussing? brass nuts/captives on the instrument machine screws?


I would like to replace with a vertical card compass after DAR inspection, but not if it has problems functioning consistantly...are these DG look_alikes inferior? or just a different animal?


Is there a position in the panel that suits the compass best? To me it looks like center top is best on the Skybolt..furthest away from the steel frame.
