• 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 saw a comment in Manuel's photos about the shackle not fitting the rudder pedal cable attachment properly. This made me want to buy one to be sure. The plans call out an AN115-46 shackle but also specs out 1/8" 7X19 cable. According to the ACS book, that shackle is not the proper shackle for 1/8" cable. AN115-21 appears to be the correct one. Breaking strength on an AN115-21 is 2100 lbs and on a AN-115-46 is is 4600 lbs. I have a hard time believing anyone is going to be aproaching breaking strength here. Anyone have a comment on this?
