• 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.

Trying to come up with a trim control that was easy to move but wouldn't creep in flight. Worked this out with a spring loaded pin that rides along in the handle and drops into little detents as you move it. Works easy and it takes a good deal of force at the balance tab to make it jump a detent.

It did take a little time with a rotary table in a mill. Fun to make though.
