• 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.

I have asked before but i cant find the old thread. I have lent me a schrinker strecher tool bench model, but how in the heck are you able to use it around the curve. And if i manage to use it, the strecher to lift up the top side of the angle , doesnt it want to bend the firewall like a banana rearwards? The angle has already been riveted in place to the firewall by former builder. Now, if you who has done this already could explain me the step by step of the correct way to make this, which bend is first made and so on, it would be great! And the material used is t6, its hard and it might crack?
