• 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.

I'm about to start wings. I have finished ailerons. I'll probably get spar

material from Wicks since I won't have to pay shipping . My question has

do with the wing ribs. I've had them done for a long time but this is the

last opportunity for me to change shape of the nose piece to allow for

the use of plywood leading edges. Is the consensus of opinion that I

should change shape now or make up the difference after wing is built.

Also if I'm not sure which engine (not a radial) should I just go ahead

and use Douglas Fir for the extra strength.

Thanks in advance
