• 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.

As long as I am posting low tech jigs and tools, here is how I cut the longerons. One end has a 45 degree angle for the forward end of the longerons and the other end has a 30 degree angle for the longeron splices. At this point I have gotten good enough with the portable bandsawin the picto cut quite accurately with the pictured miter box requiring almost no filing or touch up after. I make plenty of these out of scrap mdf or plywood for accurate cutting of miters on tubes.
