• 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.

Folks: The feedback has been wonderful on the latex paint and the Sterba prop questions. I'm painting with latex and ordered a prop from Ed Sterba.

Now...a new question: I'm assembling the tail feathers and I'm wondering what the suggested elevator travel might be? I'm at about 15° full up and about 22° full down using the horizontal stab as the reference. Is this in the ball park? I guess I'd like to see a bit more up authority just to facilitate a more positive taxi if nothing else.

Thanks,
Sarpy Sam
