• 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.

Am wondering if any kind or internal tube anti corrosion treatment is possible or necessary for a Pitts.

I dont have any corrosion but I wonder if any re treatment of the tubes internallly is possible and if it a useful preventative action.

For example the lower longerons appear to be continuous from the firewall to the tail post and presumably could easily be reoiled internally with a single pin hole.

Does anybody do this? Worth it for a hangared that never sees water over babied North East plane?
