• 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 have poured through all of the Skybolt interior photos I can find looking for the brackets for the trap doors. Right now we have two brackets to mount the sheet metal. It seems to me there should be a third in between but nowhere in photos can I find any sign of one. I don't want to add steel if it is unnecessary. You guys with finished Skybolts, what did you do?

Below is a pic of the general trap door installation and another pic of the two brackets we have now.

cheers,
Jim
