• 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.

Is there a supplier of rod ends in different lengths ? There are times when you are looking for flying or landing wires and as luck would usually have it , the wires that you find are often an inch or sometimes more too short . Availability of the ends in varius lengths would sure be a money saver in a lot of instances . Another question seeking advice is , any problem with machining them yourself if the above is not available . From what I understand , the majority are machined using 4130 Moly and some are stainless . I would prefer the 4130 to bypass the issues common to stainless . Cannot see an issue with lengthened ends if fabricated correctly using the correct material . šŸ’
