• 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 decided to R&R the main fuel tank. It has been welded and patched previously and is starting to leak along the welds. I don't feel like cashing cracks and I found a good deal on one from someone here on the forum.

For those who have done this, what am I getting myself into?
How long do you estimate it taking?
I have head I may need to lift the top right wing to get the tank in / out?

Thanks,
Kevin
