• 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've done my due diligence on this and STILL nothing... Maybe I'm missing something. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

- Did searches on the internet about riveting. - nothing really that would help
- Looked on the RV forum. - nothing that would really help
- Emailed the president, past president, secretary, treasurer and a few other guys in my local EAA chapter to see if there is a local metal airplane building guy I can talk to about riveting. Haven't even heard back from them. - not real happy with that...

I have no experience with riveting.
- What basic tools do I need? I'm looking for good, basic tools.
- What are the basic skills?
- The SportAir Metal course in the Philadelphia area isn't until Dec. and I don't really want to wait that long to do riveting.

thanks
