• 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.



I don’t know much, but

I do know that Lexan melts at a lower temperature than Arcrylic.

The front windscreen on my plane takes a beating. I have made new ones several times over the years. I decided to use Lexan this time. I always heat them to set a curve before installing. I don’t know exactly what temperature it melted at, but it was good about 2 minutes prior to these photos.
