• 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 have a set of wings that currently have aluminum leading edgesthat I plan to replace with plywood. I've read the builder's guide and some older posts but I was wondering what the current consensus is regarding buying the leading edges from Steen or making your own from 2 sheets of 1/16 ply? I'm currently in the go cheap mode but don't want to sacrifice quality and I don't have a vacuum squeezer option.


Any suggestions on plywood source, glue or suck it up and order from Steen would be much appreciated.


Thanks,
Marcus
