• 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 All,

What's the current conventional wisdom on gap sealing the T's symmetric ailerons?

Most of the posts on aileron gap sealing end up focused on the S and others with Frise type ailerons.

I'm currently rigging and tweaking. Pulling the ailerons to gap seal really well wouldn't be that big of a deal.... but is it needed/worth it on the T?

All relative with a Pitts, but:

Better centering? Improved harmony with pitch/yaw? "Different" Break out (less or more)?


Thanks!!
