• 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.

What are you all using for trim tab wire? I know about the bowden cable available from spruce but, from my impression, the trim system uses a wire that goes through an aluminum tubing (where the trim tab cable comes out of the elevator on my airplane I actually see a little chunk of bowden cable sleeve sticking out but the sleeve is not visible on the cockpit/control end, just a wire coming out of an aluminum tube.)

My airplane uses the smaller trim tab on the right hand side of the elevator and the airframe is the short fuselage if that information makes a difference. I don't see any reference about what to use on the plans I have.
