• 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.

sheet 18 has an error at D5, the 1 1/2" dimension should be 1 1/4" + 7/16"=1 11/16" (see side view). i found this out after cutting and bending and drilling the fittings. Also had interference with trailing edge at lower wing aileron well and it looks like the fwd edge of the strut may catch on the upper wing aileron well. The 46 1/4" overall length and 11 deg. angle
worked well.
See photos.
Anyone else verify the above?
