• 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 noticed today some wires coming out of my General tail wheel tire after 15 hrs and quite a few landings. Just put the tire on but its junk at this point. I've read older posts on the problems with the general tires on the Lang and many discussions on API tail wheel assembly. I was going to order 2 tires today until I saw that would cost over $200 and that may get me through summer at this rate. That price got me looking at alternatives. The airplane handles fine on the ground so I cant say that there is anything wrong with the Lang which would warrant the change. The poor quality tires seems like it could be an on going issue though. So, keep buying the generals for the Lang or go to an API?
