• 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.

This is the first of two butt ribs that will go onto the spar. I decided to glue the 1/16 plywood on at the same time everything else was glued up. I will probably change this procedure on the second butt rib so I only glue the internal parts first then glue the plywood on after.

I'm going to figure out how to use the epoxy varnish and start sealing the ribs. I imagine the first coat will have to be pretty thin to make sure there's good penetration. I'm wondering if I'll need to use 2 coats??
