• 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.

Has anyone tried using the uncertified dacron that Aircraft Spruce sells? The weights do not correspond exactly to Ceconite, but they are close. I am preparing to cover a Pitts 12 using the Kimball double covering method and was considering this fabric. The Kimball double covering method uses the heavy weight ceconite with a full covering of light weight instead of tapes. At the very least the light weight dacron seems like it would be suitable in place of the light ceconite.
