• 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'll be finishing up on the welding of the fuselage soon and wanted to plan ahead a little.


Can we get a list of where most builders are using mounting tabs ? Maybe list how an item will attach to it also; nut and bolt, nut plate, safety wire, etc.


Example:
Jim mentioned, crotch strap attachment, brake lines, floor boards, ground wire for engine mount, mounting the cowl.


Nick mentioned stand-offs


- crotch strap attachment
-brake lines
-floor boards
-ground wire for engine mount
-mounting the cowling
- stand-offs
- Instrument panel ?
- battery box ?
- brake lines ?




Where else would we use them ?
