• 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.

Morning gentlemen,
The attached pics show the spar damage to lower S1C wings, both wings have the front spars broken off just outboard of the N strut ply plates.
Several methods were suggested but I would like to get your opinions on whether the spars are repairable. FYI the piece that was broken off is approximately 12" long that supports the wooden tip bow.
Thanks in Advance
