• 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.

Alright brain trust, I have have a fairly magnetized fuse so much so that I can't swing my compass. Since all the the welding work I did and the blast and powder coat I had done it has gotten better such that the compass points places other than north now but after several nights wraping wires around my tubes and messing around with coiled wires and the AC side of my tig. I haven't had any lasting luck de magnatizing my frame such that I can get my compass within 10 deg. It has improved marginally.

Has anyone else had these problems? If so did a regular de-gaussing unit work on it? How did you fix it?
