• 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.

My plans (1990 version) show plywood sheeting on both sides of the lower wing butt ribs and the innermost ribs on the upper wing. I've seen photos of wings with only the inboard side sheeted. I already built one of them sheeting on both sides and it's really heavy. So, I'm wondering if it's ok to sheet just the inboard sides. Any thoughts?

Also I'm wondering what kind of changes have been made in the plans and if it would be worth it to buy a new set.
