• 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.

Hey guys,
I have a little project this week. We have a Pitts S-2C and the back seatpan is aluminum. Well you know what happens when you rub aluminum, it turns black. I had a brand new chute and the back is starting to turn black from sliding in and out on that aluminum. I want to cover it with something. Maybe thin carpet? Maybe some other material? Any ideas? Whatever I use needs to be pretty slick for sliding down in the plane.
