• 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.

What material sholuld I use for a smoke oil tank? Was planniong on 5052---but questions about it on another thread have me thinking.


Is there something better? Should I use 6061 or 1100? 3003?


Tank looks like it's going to be about 12" x 14" x 6". Might be able to make it little larger---won't know for sure until I get ready to mock it up in place.
