• 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.

Buying metal today....aluminum for the instrument and side panels, titanium for the firewall and fuel tank straps. I know what I want in material for the firewall, instrument panel, and sidewalls, but for the fuel tank straps I'm not so sure. The Pitts plans call for 1" x 0.050" 4130 steel. If I substitute titanium 6AL-4V for the 4130, how much I can size down the TI strap to get the same strength as the 4130 strap?

Warning, political scientist doing math here, but hopefully there's somebody around to reality check it...

4130 has a yield strength of about 63,000 psi. 6AL-4V is 128,000 psi, or about double. Does that mean I can reduce the cross section of the TI strap in half and get similar breaking strength? Use 1" x 0.025" TI strap? Maybe sized up to 0.32" for some margin?
