• 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.

My top tank is not in use because of a leak. It's an S1S or S1C with Sparcraft wings.I thought about putting some sealer, for motorcycle tanks, in. Make a quick flight at all attitudes land and drain.
Has anyone done or witnessed this?
If so, the tank has a flop tube that must be removed for this flight or it will get sealed up too. How does it come out? Looks like it must come out the filler. The tank is fiberglass. Not interested in removing the tank - just looking for a quick fix if one is available.
I have been told this can be done, but never talked with anyone who has actually done it.


Thanks


K.L.
