• 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.

Hello everyone. I'm a 54 year old man with 33+ years experience as a machinist and cnc programmer. I traded some machine work for a biplane ride yesterday and loved it. It was a 1927 Travel Air 2000. The owner runs an air museum out of the Ranger, Tx. airport. He is in the process or restoring a 1929 Travel Air 4000. After the ride he asked if I would be willing to trade out some work for more rides. Soooo..... I need to find a drawing of the wing spars. He said the spars on the '27 and '29 were the same. He said the wings were "elephant ear" wings.
If someone could please give me a little direction on finding what I need, it would be much appreciated!
