• 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.



How many pairs of reading glasses in the shop ....

It happened about 6 months ago...replacing rusty rear longerons on my clipped wing Cub project.
Welds looked bad...thought I had the wrong something???
Turns out I can't see up close any more.
I remember reading tap numbers 35 years ago when my mentor couldn't.
Now I'm that guy...
I need at least 3 pairs of cleco pliers around the shop to have one handy
Now I seem to need one pair of reading glasses for every pair of cleco pliers to get anything done !
Getting older takes some of the fun out of it !
End rant
