• 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.

Guys,

The EAA Bipe I’m helping a buddy recover has the J-3 type bungee gear (bungees exposed below the fuselage).
We’re discussing changing the bungees out for a die-spring set up. Not and engineer, and didn’t stay in a Holiday Inn last night, so looking for advice on what strength and spring rate springs I should consider
Have a local source for 4 inch 1K lbs/0.7 inch springs……too stiff…or not enough?
