• 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.

I am putting a 1970s Smith back together and want to do a few updates. I'd like the option of a closed canopy for cold weather use (I live in Michigan). I'd also like to have the option of a small baggage compartment for trips. I'm thinking of replacing the turtledeck with a hinged aluminum structure that will flop over and allow access to the area above the cables behind the seat.

Has anyone done this?
