• 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.

So I started working on the plane today fixing a few issues.
One major issue needing addressed is filling the gaps were the gear legs attach to the fuselage.
When I throw the switch on the smoke system....the smoke is pulled up through the gear leg gaps and rolls out from the front cockpit.
I haven't really found a thread addressing this issue and I apologize if this topic has already been covered.

I was thinking about using a thin rubber material on the inside of the fuselage to seal everything up.
I'm open to suggestions.
