• 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.

On a recent fishing trip I stopped for fuel at a lonely strip in sw Idaho. The radio told me 11 knt crosswind. Need I say more.
It wasn't too bad, scraped the rear 1/4 of the tip bow enough to shear the fabric. Courtesy car to the local trading post for a small roll of duct tape. Carefully exam showed nothing broken. It held fine for the rest of the trip and the 400+ miles home, great stuff.

Can someone send me a small piece of fabric, 6x16 or so. I have everything else I need. poly fibre. I figure someone has a small piece left over, I know I sure have a lot of plywood. If that does not work I know a nice lady that I can steal a nice set of undies with big red hearts on them.

Thanks

will
