• 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.

Acrosport 2 plans show slave strut streamline tube 1.5 x 0.5 x .049. After not paying attention to what I bought years ago I now discover I have 1.645 x .740 x .049 which looks WAY too heavy for the job. The next size down which is not available in Australia is 1.349 x .571 x .049. Should I use what I have or import the smaller stuff at great expense and toss the heavy stuff? I believe the Skybolt uses even larger tube and the Pitts S2 the 1.18 x .500 x .035 which I can get in Aus. Any opinons from you knowledgeable folk would be much appreciated. p.s. Chris if you are out there, what did you use?
Regards, Trev.
