• 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 rebuilding a 1972 Pitts S1s and am replacing the worn top wing attachment brackets. Maybe some one more knowledgeable than I could explain why the aft brackets, part no. I-410-13 require the plywood wing centre section skin to be cut away to enable the landing wire clevises to be fitted? It seems to me that if the landing wire holes were positioned slightly lower on the bracket the clevises would clear the structure with no need to gouge out the centre section skin. I attach one of the photos on Steen Aero's site which shows just that. Am I missing something?
