• 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 am finally close to covering, but before I disassemble the airplane to start that process, I am verifying that everything is correct. Here is my question to you: In the plans the aft attach calls for 1/4” and the forward attach is 5/16”. In the Skybolt newsletters there is a comment that states "When the lower wing assembly is fitted to the fuselage the attach holes will be drilled and reamed for 7/16” bolts”. What is the correct size?
