• 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 Guys,
Does anyone know the reason the Pitts ailerons taper on the leading edge of the tip? Obviously the rear is for the tip bow but why the leading edge? Also in my plans the rib details for the ailerons are a bit sketchy. Does anyone have a photo of an aileron rib built up before assembling the aileron to see the leading edge detail?
Cheers,
Sam
