• 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.

Assuming that most of us will be going with anon-vented cap... how are others installing their "RAM" air ?


I saw a diagram in Tony B's book Sportplane Construction Techniques. Page 79. It's a tube that has a fitting at the top-rear of the tank, connected to the RAM air line on the outside of the tank. The portion in the tank is also at the top with the opening at the forward -top corner.


Is this what others are doing ? Is that inside tube connected to the inside or just left hanging ?


I assume that the "RAM" air is the same line as the over-flow line.


thanks
Jerry
