• 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.

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. : )
