• 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 finished up the squared off elevator tips tonight. It was an easy job and went pretty quick. The stab is staying the same. The change is just to get the elevators to match up better with the new rudder. It's a small increase in elevator area, but I'd be surprised if it's noticeable in any way.

My dad helped out by removing a bunch of stuff from the fuselage that I had been putting off.

The wings are coming along slowly, but things will start moving faster soon. The spars are ready on one lower wing to install the extra ribs and start working on the first aileron. Once that is under control, I expect the next wing will go much faster.

Here's a cell phone picture of one of the elevators. I'll get better pictures Sunday when I bring a regular camera.

Thanks,
Ian
