• 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 landing gear covers are stainless steel and its two piece constructed per leg. The main part is bent around the outside of the gear and the second piece mates on the inside of the leg and screwed together.
The covers were on the plane with I purchased it, they look very nice but the weight of each cover is about 8 to 10 pounds. I don't know if I would have added the covers made out of Stainless because of the weight but aluminum covers might cut the weight in almost half.
The cover is held to the legs by an inside saddle that is attached to each leg tube a the top and bottom.
