• 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.

It was a day of fear and trepidation, but new shock cords are now installed on my rebuild project! ( I had tell somebody)
First attempt was with a borrowed tool, never used, built with Starduster plans. Total failure… the tool spread, and the cord wedged in the tool.
So, I modified an old tool I had for my Cub. It worked. Used two 1286HD rings per side.
Tomorrow- try and hang an engine.
