• 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.

Fellow Eagle Pilots,
We are redoing the fabric/paint on my Eagle. After redoing the fabric on the vertical tail it appears that the LEFT side (viewed from aft) of the tail has more camber than the right. I called Aviat and they said the sides are the same size. It is noticeable on the picture of the left side near the 2nd rib from the top (closest to the fuselage spine). Before we tear it apart again, I wanted to get advice from experienced Eagle owners on how their airplanes look. I’m not a fabric expert but I don’t want to have an Eagle with aerodynamic issues.

Thanks Phil
