• 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.



Longer ailerons?

I know Raven produces kits with enlarged ailerons for the S-1-11B, however I intend to build as much as possible myself rather than buy parts. After a minor flood in my workshop through the electric box (That is another story) I am finally back to making things.

So my question is, does anyone know if it is possible to enlarge the ailerons from the plans or are the modifications made by Raven dramatic enough so it isn't possible? Or is the data to do so available somewhere? If the modification is minor I think I would go for it, but then I'm cautions of just changing something just because. I rather like the idea of walking away from my flights with the aircraft safely parked rather than in pieces in a field.
