• 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 am utilizing some parts from a salvaged Skybolt, the rudder wasn't stripped ready in time when Imedia blasted a few months back. Tonight I revisited the rudder to strip off the old fabric to take everything apart. Then I came to the 3 hinges.....
They look like they must have been put on in betweenwelding sequences, because I cannot see how to get them off?I was going to leave them as is, because the top and middle were good with no play, but when I got to the bottom one near the horn, I found there was play there. How do I go about fixing this?
