• 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 large 3/16" dia., 1.25" long rivets, which attach the interplane struts to the strut blocks on the Skyote, (plans sheet 100200, drawing block A3, hardware item no. 28) MS20470AD-6-20, are, according to Aircraft Spruce (ACS) no longer being manufactured.

However, these rivets are still available from other sources, one of which is, Genuine Aircraft Hardware Company (GAHCO), 4250 Aerotech Center Way, Unit B, Paso Robles, CA, 93446 (888-247-2738).

GAHCO stocks the hardware that is hard-to-find or incorrectly considered "obsolete" for many aircraft.
