• 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 don't have the plans in front of me but remember them calling for .035 1025 steel to make the tail ribs. This is pretty hard to find. I think I found a website for it once but can't seem to find it now. Are you guys building tail ribs out of 4130? If so, .032 or .040?Would it beharder to bendthese ribs with4130 than 1025 cleanly with no cracks?


Thanks in advance.
Jim
