• 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.



Does the cockpit need UV protection?

Just finished spraying the outside of a skybolt fuselage with polyspray, and it occurred to me that the inside of the cockpit fabric will be exposed to UV. Wasn’t planning to paint it but it’s giving me pause whether I should. It’s not a lifting surface so strength isn’t critical. But if that fabric ripped off in flight and wrapped around a control surface it could be less than fun. What do y’all suggest? Fuggitaboutit?
