• 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'm in the process of rigging and tensioning my flying and landing wires. I have been told I need to put one "stop" nut on what I'll call the compression side of the wire and two nuts (one to jam) on the tension side. On some of my wires I can't use the compression nut and I see no need for it. Both the flying and landing wires are directing the load through the I strut and I see no reason for the compression or wire side of the nut. Can anybody help with this? Thanks!
