• 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.

A few questions:

1) Has the rigging specs for the standard Slybolt changed since '76?

current rigging is 0 dihedral - top, 1 bottom wing - both wings 1.5 incident.

2) how much difference would a full+ degree of bottom diheral make?

3) Is it worth extending the landing wire fittings in order to get 1* instead of 2.5 degrees of dihedral?

4) Has the I strut dimension changed since 76 ish?

Thanks!
