• 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.

OK... I pretty much have all my tubing measured out.


Since the R dwgs are a supplement... you need the S drawings to build.
One buring question I have. Do I need to add any of the tubing shown on the Standard fuselage's bottom truss view into the R fuselage ?


They aren't even close to looking the same.


Top dwg is the R and the bottom is kinda like the S. Not an exact drawing for the S. I just wanted to show a quick comparison to the front portion on both of them.
