• 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 finally got out to the shop again to fiddle with rigging the wings. I’m using 3 rigging boards across the top wing and I finally have the wing straight and flat. The wires are taught but not set to final tension yet. I started the rigging with 1 970-4 washer under each I strut. In order to get the left upper wing straight I ended up having to use 6 washers under the forward spar for the top wing to take the twist out. I’ve measured both I struts and they are identical. Just wondering why I would need that many washers?? According to the plans 6 washers is max for the 10-200.
