• 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.

Yesterday I was looking at a friend's S-2B. When he has full left rudder, the elevator rubs on the rudder's rib. Not so much as to hinder movement, but it is leaving a mark in the rudder.

My thought is to put a rubber pad on the rudder stop.

I also suggested he call Danny Adams and/or Aviat for consultation, but am wondering what the thoughts are from the group here.
