• 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.

Hello All,
I am gathering info on how I should build my new I-struts for my Pitts. It's an S-1S that has the M-6 (C model) wings on it for racing at Reno. I would like them as small and aerodynamic as possible because this is a race plane only and doesn't do hard akro. The wings are set at O angle of incidence and I would like the bottom wings to have no more than 1 degree dihedral. It also appears that I have enough threads left on the flying/landing wires to make the I-stuts longer to accomplish this. I have some ideas already, but I would welcome any input from our master builders on this forum.

Thank You Everyone,
Scott
