• 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.

hi to everybody
a friend of mine just bought an experimetal S-1S that has inspection holes were the drag wire are crossing both on the upper and lower wing and they seem to be added after the construction (see picture for upper wing).
do you know if there is any bulletin or reccomendation to add these holes?
in addition, one of the wires seems a bit loose, do you know if there is a way to tighten it without stripping the whole wing?
many thanks
ciao

Alberto
