• 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.

Last year I made a set of wire stabilization bars out of aluminum rod and notched them to contain each aerodynamic wire under a machined aluminum cap plate.

They look great and seem to function well, but I am wondering about the effect of dissimilar metals (aluminum & SS) in contact with each other as well as a minimum of slide-ability as the wires flex and move under flight conditions. Wooden rods with cable ties was the way I got it from the builder--not too sturdy in my opinion.

Any comments or experience with flat-wire separation bars you all may have is greatly appreciated. Thanks
