• 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.

I want to have the tabs that attach my tail brace wires plated to provide a little glitz. Can anyone suggest best way to have this done, chrome, cadmium or some other process. Found a ten-year old thread mentioning United Plating in Tulsa. Has anyone used anyone more recently with good results. Of course they will have to be baked to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. Have 12 of the tabs, so it will be a small job. Want to have the valve covers on my Lyc chromed as well. Has anyone had this done. Thanks Ed T
