• 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 there -


During my condition inspection I pulled the inspection plates underneath the lower wings and examined the movement of the aileron bellcranks. I am seeing excessive play on the right side, none on the left side. The bolt appears to be rocking in the bellcrank fittings. I assume these can be reamed and bushed to the correct bolt dimensions for a tighter fit. Can anyone tell me what the bolt size is (I don't have it out yet) and what bushings I might be looking at for this job? Any other advice on this job?


Thanks...close to flying again, just in time for the good weather!
