• 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.

Just some general questions on wing construction on Skybolts.

Lets see the spars are fir or spruce and the ribs are plywood? How thick is the ply?

Is there reinforcement between the ribs?

What material covers the wing, fiberglass fabric or plywood? If plywood is used, how thick?

How do you keep the wing covering material from coming off in flight (especially the leading edge)?

How are the wires attached and the struts? To the spars I imagine?

How are the wings attached to the metal tube fuselage?

Thanks guys.
