• 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.



Measure twice, drill once, still wrong

Ok, here's a question for the masses. On my lower aileron, right side....On the inboard hinge bracket mounting holes, I measured 6 3/4" from the end with the outboard solid rib on, instead of measuring 6 3/4" from the end of the spar. (see page 10)


Do I need to rebuild a new aileron, or can I just relocate the aileron hinge on the wing spar 1/4", relocate the upper aileron hinge bracket 1/4", move everything else 1/4", etc?
