• 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.

A previous thread on baggage compartments drifted off to harness mounting, so I thought I would put it under a new thread, so it can be found again. The rear shoulder harness can be looped up and over the top cross tube. My shoulders are about even with the tabs halfway up the vertical tube, so the geometry is ok. The anchor points are well back and seem to be welded well.

The anchor points for the lap belts conform to the 43.13 guidance. The is no mount for the crotch strap, but I think I will clamp a mount to the lateral tube right below the seat as illustrated in the 43.13.

Finally the harness is a double lap Hooker manufactured in 2002. I don't know the history, so I think I will get it re-webbed.

Feel free to poke holes in my assessment.
