• 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 drilled my drag wire holes last night.











They turned out ok, not as perfect as I would have thought with as much care as I took in drilling them.


then drilled the holes out with a number 10 drill. The wires are still pretty tight in the spars. How tight should they be??? Also how big can I open up these holes???


In one spot the wires are hitting each other in the spar. Not by alot but they are. I was thinking of opening up each hole to get the wires to pass each other. Any other ideas???


Thanks Bill
