• 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

I'm actually re building a Laser 200 but this is a pretty general question and i thought i'd get more answers here.

The aircraft used to be fitted with a leaf spring set up tailgear.

I like the look of the Haigh Tailwheel, but where can i get the rod spring from?

or can i make one. The Ones seen on Lasers and other monoplanes seem to have a bend in them.

i have two holes in the tail to potentially clamp the tube, but have seen others weld in a tube to the tail that the rod slots into.

Any information or details greatly appreciated.
