• 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.

The Skybolt I'm working on was built with some incidence in the vertical stabilizer. I know the plans call for zero degrees and that there was some discussion in the Skybolt newsletter about adding some incidence.

I'm not sure it will be visible in the pictures, but there is about 5/8" left of the fuselage centerline at the bracket at Sta. 137 where the turtle deck attaches to the vertical.

Looks like I have a couple obvious choices, leave it as is or change it back to zero. Any comments or thoughts would be appreciated.
