• 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,

I am in the process of bolting the upper wing fittings, and am a bit surprised at how the front flying wires clevis do interfere with the front splice plate (rear spar).
According to the plans I think I understand (and think have seen on flying Pitts) that some slots will have to be made to accomodate, but I didn't realise they would not only affect the filler material but some of the front splice plate as well (admittedly not a lot, but still...), which feels weird to say the least.

Is this accurate or did I misinterpret something ?

Thanks !

Xav
