• 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'm building a Pitts S1C from Steen Aero Lab plans. I am working on wing assembly now. The print shows four parts located behind the rear spar called cove strips. There dimensins are 9/16" x 1 1/8" by different lengths. The shortest is about 6" and the longest is just over 20". I do not know what these are for or how they are installed because there is no cross section view on the drawings. I have the old Curtis plans and they are not shown there.
Can anyone explaine to me what these are for.
When I call Steen Aero I get someone who can't answwer the questionand they never return my phone calls or e-mails.


Thanks
Matt
