• 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.

Smart People,

I am getting ready to cover my Pitts S1S fuselage. Before I make a total disaster of it I am looking for the approved solution(s) for doing it right.

In addition to general guidance I have these specific questions:

1. How do I get the elevator horn inside the fuselage after covering? :confused:

2. How do I prevent "junk" from accumulating at the tail end of the turtle deck in between the deck and the fabric?

3. Where are the best points to glue the fabric in the cockpit/turtle deck area?

Thanks in advance!

Doug
