• 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 have a question I was hoping someone could help me with. After shrinking fabric on fuselage I noticed that the fabric is about 1in away from the lower vert stab rib channel. I stopped at 250 degrees so it would be easier to pull down for rib stiching then I will take it to 350.Is this common for distance between lower rib channel and fabric?.
