• 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.

My newly acquired Marquart project has several broken ribs. Most have taken a hit on the rib tail. AC43.13-1B figure 1-11 shows what needs to be done in most cases, has little to say about how it should be done.

For instance, cutting the the scarf joints needs to be precise. I'll need to make some sort of scarf jig that allows me to get the same cut. Does anyone know of any detailed documentation about HOW to do these repairs?

Thanks,

Pat
