• 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.

This pic shows my ribs hanging after clearcoating.I brushed on the clearcoat and then hung them so it would run over the surface evenly and use as little as possible....the excessdripped off the tip.
Here's something for you to learn by: System Three is very clear about thier clear coat. It is compatable with T-88, meaning you don't have to mask off the areas that may need to be glued later. However, take heed to this. When this stuff dries for a few days, it gets very hard and very durable....it also is in your spar openings and must be filed off for the spars to fit. It doesn't file very easily....it's hard stuff. Try to keep it out of the spar openings...don't ask me how I know this. :)


Otherwise, my experience with it was very good...
