• 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 Steens picture CD and this is what they call the "bowtie" looking plate that mounts transversely between the longerons. It looks to have a bolt hole in the center that bolts through it and the aluminum spring gear to help with flexing and keeping the gear centered. Whew!o_O

My question is what is the plates thickness, and if it is in the plans could someone post a picture of it with dimensions. It would be much appreciated. I need to adapt and make something similar for my planes spring gear.

Also what is the thickness of the Pitts spring gear (Like from Grove or others)? I'm thinking 3/4", 2024 0r 7075

Thanks
