• 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.

These are used flying wires I got with a bunch of Starduster Too parts I bought in Illinois at the start of my project, some 12 years ago. They are obviously off of a ground looped plane, or some other trauma that happened to one side only.

Some may be good, there are certainly some that are display only. I'm not making any claims either way. Not going to split, you get it all.

I will wrap and ship in a tube (McMaster Carr style). $600 + shipping from Indiana.
