• 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.

For the top and bottom tubes on the fuselage, the distance from the firewall on the plans don't match up with the cluster locations on the sides after bending the sides to the tailpost.
This is obviously no surprise that angling the side will change the distance the clusters are from the firewall.
My question is should have I accounted for this when building the sides, or do I just install the top and bottom cross members to line up with the side clusters? Its about 1'' off at the last location. Do I install the tail post at the 168'' plans location or relative to the last tubing cluster?
