• 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.

The Short Wing Piper Club has a lending library of tools such as bungee installers, etc. that it's members can check out and return only paying for the shipping both ways.


As builders, we often face the need for specialized tools for single-use operations. I wonder if such a lending library could be developed among forum members to use tools, portable jigs, etc. that we have found handy, but are not presently being used? Instead of everyone buying a digital level and angle finder (as an example) when it comes time to rig their planes, one could be offered to the library for member use. There would be time limits and the requirement of proper care and to return in working order, butI think we could save a vast amount of money that could be used for better things than buying a tool only used once.


Waddya think?
