• 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.

Working my way thru this build, I have come to the point of jigging up the landing gear axles for LG fabrication. Following the manual, I find a discrepancy on the true axle end distance from CL.

Doing pilot-level math, it looks like CL-AxleEnd adds up to 37-3/4“ on the plans. The Manual calls for 36-3/4“. Which is it?

As always, thanks in advance.
