• 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.

Another question for the gurus.

I have heard a few times about people putting fabric on the inside of the fuselage at the fin/turtle deck transition to help stop sand, grit and general debris from getting between the fabric and the turtle deck and causing 'Pitts acne'.

Is it recommended? Who has done it and who has not?

I'm looking at it now and thinking to myself how awkward it looks to do, particularly when the second side goes on :eek:

What do you guys think??
