• 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’m getting within spitting distance of putting my tacked fuselage in the rotisserie for finish welding. Question is, what sequence? The Manual says to start at the tail and work forward. Bingelis says in Sportplane Construction Techniques to start at the firewall and work aft. I’ve also read to weld each station in a star-pattern alternating corners like lug nuts. So? Six-of-one, Half-dozen of the other?
