• 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.

Hi Fabric people,

Our lovely, 2000's covered and painted S1 is starting to show its age with the large paint piece which broke off in flight today..

The two pack paint is extremely thick (at least it seems to me). Would you suggest to use soft filler to level the surface and then repaint?

Or, if another method is prefered, please would you advise?


Many thanks!
