• 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.

Below is a fitting for the upper wing center section on the R&D wing (I'm hoping it shows up... not quite sure how to attach images with the new set up yet). Anywho...

1. There is a hole in side "A".
2. The same hole needs to be in side "C".
3. Both the areas where the hole is on "A" and "C" are at about a 6 degree angle.
4. This fitting fits over the end of the spar to attched the wing panels.

I'll drill the hole on the one fitting...

My question... do I match drill these after I have the fitting welded together and slid over the spar of the wing panel? I think I do but I want to confirm with the group.

Is this making any sense ?
