• 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.

I am in the process of setting up my jigs for the tip ribs and have a question. As I was setting up the lower tip rib I noticed the dummy spar I made didn't coincide with the print on the front spar. I just took the front spar dummy I had used for the lower ribs, and cut it down to the plans dimensions of 3 1/4". It looks like the bevel angle of the front spar is steeper at the tip as it tapers. Is this the case, am I missing something, or does it not matter? Thanks for your help everyone!

Kevin
