• 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.

In an attempt to lower my tail, and to stop wheel shimmy, I will be making or buying a new leaf spring. Can anyone point me to information, or know what the minimum arch is from a weight bearing, shock absorbing prespective. Aviation Products have a tail wheel that will accept a 20* leaf spring attachment. I would susspect that this could lower the tail more than a 45 would, but am trying to find how flat of a spring could I use successfully.
