• 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.

In talking about tires last night with a friend, he mentioned he would purchase 6 ply Flightcustom III tire as they have a stiffer sidewall, for my Acrosport. The reason was to help eliminate some of the movement of the tire on the rim and reduce thepossibilityof a pinched tube and more crisp handling on the ground.
Any opinions on tires for my AS1?
On my Yak, I really like the Desser retreads, they seem to last longer. I am considering using retreads on the AS also.
