• 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 elevator trim tabs, how are the hinges attached, was going to use #8 platenuts, any better methods? Also, on the Steen website (images 01014 through 0109 in the construction photos) there are pictures of the trim horn formed with a full length piece that I assume forms the bottom of the trim tab or is attached to it? Anybody use this type of arrangement and pictures of what a completed trim tab looks like. The plans show a horn welded on or held on with screws and platenuts (not pop rivets!)
