• 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.

Hi.
I wonder if anyone has used a temporary holding or fastening of the Skybolt landing gear.
I Just finished painting the fabric on these legs and want to install on the fuselage. That way I can wheel the thing around (mobile).

I will probably install the final hinge bolts but I don't know if it is time to get the bungees and rent the installation tool from Steen.
If I have to remove the gear this would be a bear.

What have guys done in the past to fix the gear in the secured position?

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
