• 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! Just received a flat tail spring through from Steen for my Pitts S1S project. They’ve sent a Citabria spring which is slightly annoying as it is a different style to the type specified on the Aviat drawings. Has anyone used one of these or experienced the same issue. As the upper leaf doesn’t go all the way through it would have to have some sort of shim where it bolts to the fuselage to keep the angle. I’m considering sending it back and re ordering one from Aviat but thought I’d get some advice on here first in case this is normal practice.

Cheers,

Andy
