• 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.

Hi biplane builders


In addition to our scale streamline flying wires we are able to produce
light weight stainless tie rods. Our scale flying wire rolling die
machine will be set up for this in the next weeks to produce wires for
our Hatz biplane. We are manufacturing the tie rods from AISI 316L
stainless steel with left- and righthand rolled UNF 10-32 threads.
Nominal lenght of the wire including threads will be 40", but can be
made different if required. The tie rods feature a 1/8" square section
between the threaded ends, which yields in a 40% weight reduction (or
about 3 Lbs) compared to round 3/16" dia steel rods for one Hatz wing
set. See sample on our website www.aeroplaneworks.ch

The min rated load of 2100 lbs is statically tested (each wire to be
tested) and meets the same strength as AN 703 round tie rods.

We would like to know if anybody is interested in a set of tie rods. Price depends on number of wires produced in a row .
