• 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.

Hi all, since my firewall was misdrilled when I got it - I build a new one according to the plans, resulting in about 10 3/4" from the middle of the cabane tube to the top of the firewall.

Right after having it drilled, I stumbled across a pic of N40JU where the firewall seems to be mounted way lower than mine. Question is: How high is the firewall on your 10-200 or on your project? Any measure is welcome, length of exposed streamline cabane tube, length from cross tube to top firewall etc. pp. I can deal with anything but really want to get it right now before having to dump the next fuel tank straps...
