• 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.

Ok guys I hope it's not just me that does stupid stuff! Well here's what I did. Got my fuselage completely covered, starting to put the plane back together and Wa-La! My Dumb #%^ didn't cut out and reinforce an area for the elevator ends to go through the fabric! So just wondering has anyone ever used the Piper tail grommet where you have plenty of area to get the elevators in and attached? Thought it might give more room to attach the elevators together. Also could cut a piece of lexan to use as an inspection cover.

Advice needed please, seem like everything I touch in the last month has either cost more money or time. (Mostly paint issues, but sometimes It's something like this that I did)
