• 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.

Hello folks,

yesterday I pulled the first aluminum leading edge off my wing. Unfortunately the aluminum tore around the nails, so that every single nail is still in place, only sticking out about 2 mm. I'm not able to grab them with stock pliers, is there a secret about the removal of the nails without damaging the spar? :confused:

I'd really like to remove the nails and seal the holes with Epoxy before installing the ply leading edges. Hammering them into the spar is no real option for me.

Thanks in advance guys!

Simon
