• 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.

I am recovering a Charger and found both gear cracked at the lower part of the gusset on the front side gear mount bushing at the front attach point. After looking further found the longeron cracked at the front cross tube and that tube was cracked all the way around and completely seperated. This has been broken for some time but is difficult to see during inspections because it is pretty well covered by the floor boards and side metal that is not easy to remove. Would like to know if anyone else is finding similar damage?
