• 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.

So' I am building the Skybolt and I will have a convertable set up: Full canopy for cold times and open cockpit for smelling the air.


My question is; can anyone provide information on the manufacture and installation of the soft protective strip that surrounds the openings...I don't even know what this is called?


Normally this is laced around the aperture.


Would like to know the materials available, the fitting proceedure and of course the lacing system.
In fact....everything!


Cheers. Eric.
