• 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.

Hi Hatz builders,
While building our Vintage Hatz, a modified Classic with wingtips similar to the Waco QCF, I built our own mouldings to laminate a « 3-dimensional wingtip bow, which follows the profil’s scelettal slope (the bow doesn’t lie in a plane, you see a curved slope when looking at the tip). This is a 7 ply pine laminate with a rectangular section to be shaped after installation.
In addition I also made press mouldings to pressglue 3-ply birch leading edge plankings at the wing tip near the leading edge. There are 4 top and 4 bottom convex 1/16 Inch
ply plankings.
I this I am building those parts for an European Hatz Classic builder, who also is building his wings ends identical to our designs.
Anyone internstes? Please email to Hans.u at aeroplaneworks.ch. Pictures available.
