• 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.

First time cover for an Eagle......Would someone please explain the purpose of the poprivets that appear at the extremities of the centersection (which admittedly is not really a centersection)? Are they there to help hold the fabric down? If they had an aluminum fairing behind them, I could make sense of it. Do they protrude into the cavity behind the plywood top?

Thanks for any info I can glean from you guys.
