• 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.

From another thread I have been asked to share all the details of what I did to build the canopy for my Starduster Too. I put together a write-up on it with separate photos and three drawings. I've uploaded it all here. Read the document file first as it refers to each photo and drawing accordingly. Hope this is of some help to anyone wanting to acquire and install a canopy on a Starduster Too, or anything else for that matter.
