• 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.

Hi,

I'm going to start cutting out some gussets for my wing ribs. I've noticed that some of you have used semicircles, others have used rectangular, and others have used some combination of the above.

If I cut out some 2 1/4" circles will that work for all cases? Some will be 180 degrees and some will be 90 degrees. I guess my real question is what is the minimum acceptable gusset size.

Cheers,

David
