• 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.

Hey gang, I’m an A&P helping a friend maintain his Christen Eagle. It was built in the 80’s and is in pretty nice shape. One issue we’re wrestling with is trying to find ways to keep his round inspection hole covers on. The plastic rings on the fabric have become brittle and cracked with age, although the fabric itself is fine. As a result, he’s occasionally lost a cover in flight. We’ve tried one mod but while they stayed on until this annual, they’re a big pain to reinstall. Any ideas are welcome. Larry
