• 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 for all.

I bought a skybolt project that was disassembled for re-cover. The previous owner had the wings, control surfaces and fuselage covered through the first poly-brush coat using the stits process. The project sat for a few years and mice got into the wings. I had to uncover the wings and found they had used ceconite 102 instead of poly fabric. Should I recover them using C102? Remove and recover everything using heavy polyfiber? Should I use polyfiber on the wings and not worry about mis-matched fabric? The steen people suggested I post the question here.
