• 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.

Hi All,

an inspection ring cover decided to depart the wing during an acro session today :mad: enlarged the front hole and cracked the rear one...

High res picture here

What are my options on fixing it? Hoping for some "easy" fix where I can attach (glue?) something to the inside without doing fabric work? I will rotate the inspection cover ~15-20' and drill new holes, but looking to do some reinforcement on the inside ? There's a round vinyl patch [from before] around the hole on the outside to prevent further paint cracking/breaking off from the prop wash...

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

-Igor
