• 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).

I am in the middle of making mock ups from poster board. I have a sheet of alum' laying around, and it is 3003-H14 x 0.025. Is this OK for the seat pans? I think the thickness is OK, but not sure about the grade..






The pans will be 3 inch deep and wrapped over the seat tubing then AD riveted.
