• 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.

hey, I'm looking too scratch build a sopwith pup, first 1/4 to work out all the details, then a full size.. or close too so I can fall under the ultralight category.

but at the moment I'm still in the resuerch stage, and unfortunatly there is no Air Museum nearby where I live (though I might take a 2hr trip too one..)


anyway's

how doe's the cable of the top wing ailerons go from the stick too the ailerons? I got some fairly high def. pic I scavenged from the internet, but none that I can find how it's connected... any help would be apreciatec, Diagrams evens more so. (so far all I know is that it goes from the Aleron to the front of the wing (all the way too the front) too a pully.. then I can't trace it anymore..

Edit: just thinking. did they sleacecables back then so that they didn't always need pully's? becouse I see 2 hoses on the front middle support bar thing that look like fuel lines, but the gad tand is infront of the pilot..
could cables be routed thrue there?

<img removed. no hotlinking to other sites please.beej


I had a close up picture of it, but can't find it at the moment...
