• 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.

Hello All

In the next few weeks i'll begin making the buck and then mould for the top cowling and turtle deck on my Lazer Z200 project.

I was wondering if you guys have any experience doing this. Most specifically i'm interested in hearing peoples experiences with layups. Or suggestions on what would work. How many layers and of what? I see Bully Aero have done a really nice new Pitts cowl. I'd love to know what layup was used. And where if any strengthening was placed.

I'm undecided as of yet whether to go for wet lay with vaccum bagging or resin infusion. But happy doing either.

Any thoughts, opinions and advice welcome!
