• 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.

Hello Skybolt folk,

I believe I'm noticing a slow increase in the slack of my landing wires under G. They can go from taught to an inch deflection in the upper section under only 2-3 G. What is considered "normal"? Do you all tension wires during annual? I have only tensioned once at purchase 3 yrs ago using fish scale method prescribed by Steen Aerolab. Waiting on digital scale delivery to check again.

Thanks,
C.
