• 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.

OK guys, I'm building ribs now. In the mean time I'm looking ahead and need to make these drag fittings. If I'm not mistaken other airplanes share a similar fitting.

Can any of you offer up some advice on possibly the best way to make these so they are all consistent and accurate?

I figured there's an order in bending these and then figured a bending block of some type that resembles the shape (triangle) could help.

It seems like drilling holes should come after it's bent. And maybe make the strap extra long and trim it later?

Any advice or tips?
