• 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 have a set of Steen S1-C plans and I am scratch building. I noticed that the plans are really vague on the compression strut/braces. It looks like spruce along side the ribs but I go to Steen web site to look at pics and I see that they have the ribs in the Compression location covered in ply.
I know that the pics on their web site are not a flat wing 1-C. does anybody have any pics of the wings that used spruce along side the ribs? or any more info on what Pitts uses for compression bracing?
