• 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.

Hi folks,

I am almost to the completion of the restoration of my factory S1S. This has taken years longer than planned, but that is the nature of the beast.

Anyway, I was looking at the flying wires. They are stainless look to be in pretty good condition. I wanted to clean and polish them up. I can't find anything on the web or here about what are the appropriate and safe practices. I polished my RV-8 but suspect a different approach is appropriate for stainless flying wire. Any suggestions?
