• 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.

I am working on a rubbing issue on this brake. The piece of "U" channel that covers the shoe pivot anchor pin shifts fore and aft with drum rotation and is rubbing the drum. It appears this cannot be tightened to stop the movement because it would then restrict the shoe movement. I have no technical data or parts listing to determine if anything is missing in this brake assembly that would keep the "U" channel vertical.
