• 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 guys,

I'm facing the challenge of attaching the fuel tank to the fuselage. Of course this should be done with straps that allow a certain movement. Unfortunately I have no drawing of how it's done with the Ultimate fuel tank, only the old rusty straps that won't do the job sufficiently.

I saw another way of attaching a smaller tank with ~50 l that looks good, but might be on the heavier side.

What I definitely want to avoid is getting a high load and in the inverted cases with the straps around the upper longerons in a flat angle.

How is it done properly? See pictures attached of what In described above.
