• 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.

Yesterday during the regular preflight walkaround I discovered to my terror that the right front cabane was is totally disconnected.
The bracket that connects it to the top wing is torn (see attached picture)
My mechanic told that they will have to replace the bracket or to weld it.

Has anybody ever came across this problem?
Can the plane be restored to it's original G limits after the repair?
What is the correct way to repair this?

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks much in advance.
Avi Maltzman.
