• 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 am eventually going to have to build a custom composite radiator/oil cooler pod ala P-51 and possibly a cowling if I cannot get aluminum to work. I am looking for some good reference books on how to do this especially concerning making male molds - release agents - cloth to use - number of layers required - etc.??
My biggest concern is making them as light as possible but still having the needed strength and stiffness.
Thanks
