• 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.

Guys i'm looking for some input on spray equipment as i gear up to recover my plane. I'm curious what those of you with recent experience would suggest. I'm using Polyfiber thru silver and am leaning towards Ranthane on top.

Compressor. What capacity and HP?

Regulator, water trap, hoses etc?

Spraygun(s)...Standard or HVLP? Top feed or Cup? What size head(s) ? Is there a gun with the reputation as easiest to use?

Breathing apparatus, cartridge mask or fresh air supply?

I want to keep my spending as reasonable as possible but not to the point of sacrificing a good outcome or my health. I'm looking for "tried and tested".

Thanks
Dan
