• 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.

Hello guys,

I'm about to finally tension my flying and landing wires for the first time prior to doing the static load test.

How do you proceed with third flying wires on your Pitts / Ultimate / other biplane? Just doing the "normal" rigging with the front wires only and tensioning the rear ones finally?

It's hard to keep everything aligned with those rear wires.
