• 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.

Just fitting plywood leading edges and was thinking about future drag wire and block access.

I already have hardwood blocks and larger washers but just wanted opinions on whether it's worth cutting some access holes in the ply for potential future access.
Was thinking of perhaps a 1" hole and either cover with an acetate glued cover (under a fabric patch) or just let the fabric cover naturally.

Later if a re-tentioning is required a Tinnerman cover could be used.

Worth it or not?
