• 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've discovered that I can recess the fuel cap below the top fuel tank cover if I can find a relatively flush cap that can be fitted to a 2.25" threaded flange. I've got a bayonet style cap now---the "neck" of it is about 1.5" or so long so the top of the cap sits just a little too high to fit it under a cover (it protrudes about 1/2" out of the tank cover as is)


I've thought of going to a Thermos style cap----what do I do for a filler neck? Thought of getting a short section of 2.25x0.125 tube and have it threaded to screw into the flange--then use the smooth inner surface as a mating surface for a 2" thermos style cap.


Any thoughts?
