• 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.

Hi guys,

I've acquired a Skybolt/firebolt (firebolt fuselage) project that includes I believe an original firebolt sliding canopy kit from Starfire aviation. I've got the canopy install manual, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how the rails and whole thing goes together. Ive got rails that are 21" long and extend to 41". But its appears to be two smaller rail sections per side??? Or an inner and outer for each side?? I'm not sure.

Has anyone else used this kit or seen something similar? Pics below
