• 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.

Page 5, section 6, stab connector

The two 3/8 x .065 tubes are welded to the frame. The plans call for the length to be 1 3/4" long which doesn't make any sense when looking at drawing in section 6. This image shows the 1 3/4" measurement and there is tubing extending further in both directions... maybe a total of 3" in length.

I looked under Hal's "Changes and clarifications" but didn't see any mention of it.

What length have others made the front connections?

thanks
Jerry
