• 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.

So, I ended up mounting my tank bracket askew. I was trying to make it parallel to the firewall, but it seems I had 2 types of adel clamps (slightly different tab lengths!) in the same batch from ACS, not realizing, I was using a shorter clamp to mark the holes in the bracket, then a slightly longer one to final fit, I was scratching my head for an hour wondering why nothing was aligning....so, after trying to make the best of a bad job, the picture is where I ended up.

Question; does the tank need to be truly vertical, or is this acceptable?

I have a fix; but I don't really want to undo things unless I really need to...
