• 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.

Hey guys,

I'm about to order the fairleads for my fuselage. I'm a bit confused about the sizing. I've got 3/4" inner diameter of the failead tube, nothing special here. The length of the tube pieces is 3/4" as well, but which tube do I need from ACS?

3/4 * 1" or 3/4 * 3/4" ? Which length is the correct one? Unfortunately there is no drawing, so I don't know whether the lenght given is the actual length of the fairlead or the lenght of the tube in which is is installed...

Thank you for chiming in!
