• 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.

In the EAA thread we were talking about damage from bystanders, passengers, etc. What kind of measures have our builders taken or wish they had taken to prevent bumps and bruises, hangar rash, etc?


An example is to use a threaded pitot tube that can be removed during shows.


I've been told to make the wingwalk a little wider, beef up the tubing around the cockpit coaming (any pics of the cockpit rails?)


what else do you suggest?
