• 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'm modifying my S-2A instrument panel to add a couple of Trig remote heads in the center area at the bottom, The 3-1/8" G-meter's stock location is in that same area so it is getting evicted. Option #1 is to move it to the hole on the far left (see below) where the VOR head used to be. The instrument panel is a wrap-around style with 20° wing angles. So, will the 20° angle do anything important to the G-meter's readings? In straight pulls and pushes we see no differences in what the instrument experiences but what about things like snaps?

The other location option is a 2-1/4" instrument which would fit in the area above the Trig heads and below the compass.......
