• 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.

This last time I reattached the cowl to our Eagle, I noticed that the washers for the upper bolts fastening the oil cooler to the cowl are have worn through the fiberglass of the cowl. You can now see two slits of light when looking from the inside of the cowl.

We're discussing different options for fixes, but I was wondering if anyone else out there has run across this and what your repair of choice was.
