• 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 Everyone! Short time lurker here since picking up an S1 project last month.

I'm in the process of finishing a set of S1-S (Gen 1 Sparcraft) Wings and could really use a few photos to help fill in the missing pieces for what we're working with. I bought the project with the wings already covered and am needing to figure out how others have the slave strut attachment area cut out. What we've came up with seems to be an excessive gap in the aileron bay. (Photos attached)

The set up this came with also has the slave strut attach point bolting rod end to rod end, this doesn't seem correct, but not necessarily wrong either?

If anyone has a photo handy of the bottom of the bottom wings where the slave strut attaches, or of the aileron coves would be seriously appreciated! Ditto for the top wing, that one is on deck for this week.

Thank you!
