• 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.

Question came up yesterday about covering the airplane. For those that have covered, how did you handle elements like control horns,hinges perforating the skin? Makeland shows some tabs welded to those areas to fasten the fabric. Other folks are saying just cut the fabric around it and leave it.
Got me thinking and wanted to take the pulse on it from those that have some experience doing it.

Hope you’re all well,
Doug
