• 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.



Rigging...Am I dense?

Ok. I rigged my Special last Fall and welded up the "N" struts in place. Removed them and painted them. Discovered that the port side is 3/8" Taller. So I have set it all back up, now that is cool enough, finally. The following measurements are ALL WITHIN 3/32":Tailpost to upper TE tip. Tailpost to lower TE tip. Landing wires. Flying wires. UPPER WINGS 0deg dihedral & AOA. LOWER WINGS 3deg dihedral & 3deg AOA. WHAT AM I MISSING? The only measurement that is not correct is the distance between the up and lower "N" strut attach points. Majorly confounded in Olivet, MI.
