• 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.

Hi all,

Having my S1 wings removed, I took the opportunity to check all attachment points to the fuselage. When I slide the AN4 bolt in the lower wing spars, I noticed a slight play. I think the play is small enough to be acceptable, but if wanted to remove it completely, I was wondering if oversizing the hole in the spar and placing a 0.250 ID bushing there would be acceptable. Any of you guys done this before? Any other idea to remove the play?

Thanks,

-Dimitri
