• 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.

Hello all again.
We need to replace all the tail bracing wires on our skybolt. I've ordered the set from Steen is S/s streamline wires.
Does anyone have the plans or hardware details for all the connections?
I've got the original tabs that are reusable. The kit comes with the AN665-21L&R's. What I don't have is the bolt size that attaches to horizontal & vertical tail planes.
If anyone can shed some light or email the particular plan page that would help hugely.

One other thing, on the tail plane & fin, the connection anchor points have a say 5mm collar. Does that seem right, the Pitts are flush?? How has everybody else fabricated theirs??

Cheers all again
