• 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 need to replace the bungees on my Starduster. Aircraft Spruce recommends a 1280 bungee rated at 750 pounds, but I’m quite sure mine has 1280HDs, rated at 950 lb.
The 1280’s are recommended for the SD2 and early(?) aeroncas, The HDs for a variety of pipers, Pitts s2 and the fans s10.
They’re the same size, so what’s the difference in handling characteristics, wear, etc? I know the HDs were a royal pain to install.
