• 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.

The old Tiger Moth has used normal fabric tapes on the gap between ailerons, and elevator. It seems like a very simple way to do things. I did the same on the elevator on my Avid Flyer, and on the Skybolt I used tape for now, but plan to use fabric soon. Just wondering why this is not more common, and people tend to go for rubber channel and so on?

Thanks,
larry
