    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • 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.
    • 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.

After glueing on your leading edge ply, do not assume it will be nice and flat even tho it looks like it is. Lightly sand the whole leading edge by using a 4ft piece of angle iron with 1" sanding belt tacked to it with double sided tape. You will find 'high spots'...
While we are on the subject of tips and gotchas...we don't seem to have many of them in the list considering the vast amount of knowledge some of you guys have. Come on chaps, disseminate your wisdom!
