• 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, I'm having trouble understanding the reference on the tan (latest) plans for "1/2 inch leading edge up" on the H stab. Is this 1/2 inch higher than the rear spar which is already 2 inches center to center above the longeron or is it 1/2 inch above the longeron at the leading edge? In which case I guess it must mean upper edge of longeron to lower edge of LE stab? An angle of the whole stab relative to the longeron would be much easier to understand. I know some builders from the old newsletters have tried more than 1/2 inch but I can't determine what their references were either. I know this will depend somewhat on weight and balance and engine power etc . Hope someone out there can help as I am pretty close to mounting the tail feathers. Regards, Trev.
