• 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.

A lot of us on here, or at least myself, is new to all of this... reading construction drawings, welding, etc.


The photos that are uploaded to the User Galleries are priceless.


Example:
I'm constructing a mock-up of the fuselage to figure the lengths of tubing for the R version. Had some head scratching as to whether I was reading the plans correctly. Got online and opened up a few of the galleries that had shots of the standard fuselage and it answered all my questions.


Which reminds me. If anyone has posted a "process" on a thread... might be, actually it'd be a good idea to post that process in "your" User Gallery.

Thanks to all that have posted photos. My hat is off to ya'll. Edited by: Jerry
