Im building the fuselage for my S1D and have a questionabout connecting the 1 1/8″ tube at station zero to the longerons. Ive seen some photos where thelongerons come through and are plugged at the firewall. Others plugthe 1 1/8 tube on the sides. Its getsdifficult to see this area on a completed fuselage. Id like to understand the factory assemblymethod. The plans show the uprights at45 degrees and Id like to stay true to the plan. Imusing a standard gear, so I need to make sure the assembly method works with astandard gear.

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.
