• 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'm putting the finishing touches on my completed Hatz Classic wings and was wondering if anyone has a suggestion of what material to use to protect the drag/anti drag wires where intersect. I had orginally planned to use a nylon disc as a spacer attached using rib lacing cord then use varnish to seal the cord. The problem with that is that it will allow very little movement as the wire flex and move so I want to come up with a better solution. Any expreience/ideas from others will be greatly appreciated.
