• 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.

The Pitts factory even screws up on the KP4 bearing housing fit after welding arms on.
Even a little extra press fit makes the bearing drag.
i put the 1" end in the vice and hand reamed the housings for a perfect fit!
i found this obvious reamer made for the job at a surplus price with free shipping.
