• 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.

I don't know how, but something was dropped on the aluminum leading edge of my lower wing and dented it. It is pushed in about .25 of an inch and about 2 inches long. The wing is covered and up to the nitrate stage of finish. Any advice on how to repair this? One consideration is to use polyurethane expanding foam and see if the foam will push the aluminum back into position. Another idea is to drill holes and pull the dent out with a piece of wire with an L shaped on the end. HELP!!!
Thanks
Phil
