    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • 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.
    • 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 knew a fellow (now deceased-auto accident) who completed a Skybolt w/540--
He filled the tailpost with lead, had some 1-3/8" SS streamline tubing, made stabilizer struts-(lower) and filled them with lead---He did fly it.---

My question is --how badly this would affect spin recovery?
