• 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.

In order to answer the questions that were asked from Chris's thread about my problems with the Aerothane paint I started this new thread. Let me start by saying I have used the Stits process on four projects of my own, starting in 1977. I have always been happy with the process including the most recent ASII project except for the Aerothane paint. The main problem came with the lighter colors: in my case white and yellow. Getting the paint to go on smooth with no orange peel or runs and cover properly was a real problem. I have heard this from friends that are or have shot the paint since the formula was changed back in 06 or 07. I am still a fan of the Stits process but will be looking for an alternative to the Aerothane if I do another project.
