• 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.

Has anyone used the Stits padding under the fabric on the leading edge? I have repaired all the "hanger rash" imperfections in the leading edge but a couple of my local buddies said that the padding under the fabric helped eliminate allot of small imperfections and was better than the old methods such as spot putty. The thing is, they are talking based on reading material and not actual use. I have the top wings ready to install the fabric and want to consider it before I proceed. I would appreciate some input. Is there any benefit to it other than eliminating imperfections since I have all the spots worked out.
