• 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.

What is the purpose of sheeting the wing bay where the I strut mounts?

I have seen a couple of wings with only (except the wing-walk) this area sheeted in what I assume is 1/16" ply and am wondering why...

Was it maybe a mod from the Model 12's or the ultimate biplane designs?
Come to think of it, I saw a picture of a wing kit with this area sheeted to... the Raven kit maybe?
