• 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 all
Does anyone have view on changes to the firewall on the S1. WHat I mean is specifically:
1) Bolting the firewall to the tubing with either adel clamps or u-clamps in a few places;2) Riveting a few angles to the firewall in a few places to stiffen it3) Putting firewall dampening material on the inside of the firewall.
I have seen and heard of these things being done to prevent rattling/clattering and or reduce engine noise, but they are all additional to the S1 plans, and so I'm not sure if are necessary, or worthwhile.
Appreciate anyone with one or more of the mods on a Pitts, or knowledge/ideas, to let me know what you think.
ThanksStuart
