• 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.

All the talk about stringer stand-offs got me curious as to the weight difference between the two designs; the plans stand-off and the Mac stand-off.

I did a quick experiment. I made up a plans stand-off (actually just cut the parts out,) Mac design stand-off and a modified Mac stand-off (with lightening holes.) Weighed all three on a postal scale at work.


Survey says:
- Plans stand-off: .6 oz
- Mac stand-off: .7 oz
- modified Mac stand-off: .6 oz


Just an FYI for someone wanting to know the weight of both designs.
