• 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.

On the lower cowl, the screw holes along the back edge have all become oversized over the years. I was thinking of grinding down the entire back edge to be very thin and then glassing in a piece of .016 stainless. A strip say an inch wide. I have chosen that because it is something that I have on hand. Anyone else reinforce these holes?
