• 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.

Some place in the past on this site probably on the Pitts group several posts as to the method of getting the fabric to stick good to the wooden center section were discussed. I am using Poly fiber covering system and plan on using poly tack and poly brush to have the fabric adhere!

Does any one wish to comment on what they used and how they did it as any advise would be of help? I have done a lot of covering on Stardusters but they have a three piece upper wing with butt ribs to attach to. The Skybolt and also the Pitts with the one piece wing looks like in the center it would all have a lap with poly tack and then the rest be attached with poly brush to the wooden center section of the wing! Any advice and help would be much appreciated. Dave
