• 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 noticed today the Clipped wing Cub I work on has stream lined tubing over the round rod that the bungees or die spring is on. Anyone ever seem this? Any real world speed? I know it adds some strength obviously (and weight) but look like a good mod? Ill try to take pics of the Cub after work tomorrow.
