• 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.

Well the new wing tip set iscompleteand ready for the updating project. <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
I finished the final epoxy coating with West system resin last night.


My plan is to fly her this week andto getthe fuel level down, and start the tear down for recovering and a new paint scheme.



Many thanks to Tommy and Gary for laminating the tip bows for me while I worked on the new ribs. I managed to ripone upper and one lower bow blanks right down the center to createa full set ofbows. This should cut down on a lot of belt sander shaping later.
