• 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.

My washer stock from the Raven Kit don't seem to sized correctly. They are 1"x1" square and .070 stainless steel. The end of the drag blocks are 1" x .75", and so I need to trim the washers down.


Problem is, its not a pretty result. I was just wondering if uwing 2 AN970 washers would be an ok alternative?


The plans call for a single washer, but it's generally accepted that thicker washers are required - so is 2x washer as strong as one thicker one?


any ideas?
