• 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.

I am hoping to rig my wings this weekend. Everything is assembled loosely and it is starting to look like a flyable airplane. I asked a few PItts guys about their method for rigging the Pitts. I also googled it and searched my manual (S1S). So far I have come up with at least 3 totally different methods. I do not have rigging boards and would really like to not use them if at all possible.





Anyone care to share the method that they think yields the best results? I am going to buy a smart level (digital 36" level) in the morning, I have a string level, several lengths of plain carpenters levels, and a laser level.


Any help is greatly appreciated. If anyone feels like a trip to NC come on down!
