• 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.

So for the last week I've been trying to hang the wings on the fuselage. The plans say to mount the top wing level no dihedral. It then says the bottom wing will have dihedral. It doesn't say how much or how to achieve it.
I Installed the end struts and guess what, the wings are almost perfectly parallel! So I am looking for the least distasteful solution . I could order more tubing and rebuild the end struts shorter. Raise the cabane few inches, or put dihedral in the top and bottom wings using the main struts. This last option would seem to be the simplest to me . I have it setup now with 2 degrees top and bottom wings. Does this sound reasonable?
