    • 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.
    • 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.

Saw this inexpensive home-made bending brake on a yahoo group I'm a member of. Thought it would do the trick for those of us that don't have access to a professional metal shop.


David Clay gave me permission to post it on the site.


Just tied to upload it... the pdf seems to be a bit too large. Here is a link to the page that it's on. http://www.daves601xl.com/Tools/tools.html


If you get a chance,Dave has a nice website that follows the building of his 601XL. Just like the one beej was going to build before he realized a plane ain't a plane unless it has two wings. : )
