• 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 am going to be touching up a few items on my almost 1000 hr Bolt. The a couple (the outer) elevator hinges has a little bit of play that I would like to correct before it becomes worse. The easiest would be ream to the next size, but I know that strength would be compromised. Also considered an adjustable reamer to make the hole round, then machine custom pins. Access for the reamer may be limited though. Any ideas for alternate/best methods?

Thanks,
larry
