• 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.

Does anyone have any instructions or recommended methods to close and secure an aluminum access panel? I have a fuel-tank cap close to skin surface and want a smooth panel cover to close and seal the door to the skin. I can make the panel w hinges, but would like a shallow, non instrusive (not hartwell latch) latch to secure it - instead use a pull-pin or spring latch mechanism. any pictures, diagrams, ideas to share would be appreciated. thanks Check/DR109
