• 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.

For you aerobatic guys...what is your feeling about smooth-surface heel pads under the rudder pedals? I have aluminum floorboards and am considering adding Polished Stainless Steel heel pads. For a few reasons...


  • I think it will look bitchen
  • I think it will make quick rudder pedal inputs smoother and easier
  • I already have the material and it will be good practice with polishing
  • It gives me a break from doing what I really should be doing...fabric work:eek:
I've already considered the weight penalty and am willing to accept that penalty if it makes sense to do it otherwise.


Thanks in advance.
