• 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 all,

I've had to cut some inspection holes in the bottom of my top wing. The guy who built it did a great job of the fabric and installed the proper ring supports where the inspection holes are to go.

So... under instruction I used a soldering iron to cut out the holes and made them just a little bit smaller than I need to in case I screwed it up.

The holes are fine but the edges are not that neat. What is the best way to clean up the edges? I guess ultimately inspection covers will go on them so so no one will see them, but I know how they look :)
