• 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.

The bearing (KP3L) popped out of my upper aileron bracket where the slave strut attaches so I disassembled it and noticed that it was only pressed in with an interference fit. The plans show to "roll stake" the bearing in place and I am wondering if any of you have done this being that a custom roll staking tool kit is about $2000.
My other idea is to take a chisel and stake it in with 4 hits to either side around the perimeter on the fitting but this doesn't seem ideal.
Any ideas?
