• 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.

Hey guys!

For some of the ribs on the acrosport 2 the plans say to use solid wood instead of plywood. I'm done building the pattern for the nose rib and plan on using my table router to duplicate them. I'm running into a problem of the wood splintering or splitting out a little on the corners. The bit i'm using is a straight 2 flute bit with a bearing.

Any ideas on how to prevent it? A different bit perhaps?

Mike
