• 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 need some blisters to go on the aluminum sheet covers over the Jodel landing gear attach. The bolt heads stick up above the surface of the wing about 1/2 inch. I wanted to form them into the covers, but realized that they are too close together to be able to do that with the tooling I built. So I tried forming just a single blister that I could rivet onto the covers. Didn't go so well...

I could try forming it half way then annealing, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood for that much education. Does anyone know of a source for stock blisters about 1 3/4 x 3 x 5/8 inch high?
