• 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 Pittts and other airplanes the covers for the wing and fuselageinspection holes are secured to plastic rings built in the fabric using twoPK4 screws. The screws engage into little brackets riveted to the covers.If I don't tighten the screws enough, they get loose and fall off. If I tighten the screws a little too much, the holes in the bracket get larger and it becomes impossible to tighten the screws (like a stripped thread, even if there is no thread in the bracket.Any suggestions about a particular type of glue or any other method to solve this problem?Thanks
