• 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.

Has anyone rigged a Hatz CB-1?
Plans call for “0” incidence all wings and 2 degrees dihedral.
I measured incidence using a bubble level from the bottom of the front spar to the aileron cuff at the fuselage and cabanas and then at the interplane struts. Fuselage and cabanas are perfect. However the interplanes need some attention.
Left bottom “0”
Left Top -1/4”
Right bottom +1/4”
Right top -1/4”
So, does Everything go to zero and the plane flys straight?
But It flies straight now, if I add considerable right rudder.....so do I make the changes on three wings? Or are the measurements not excessive enough to worry about?
BTW....First loops, rolls, split S’s and half Cubans today!!! YESSSSSS!!! What a pleasure to fly this airplane!
