    • 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.
    • 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 received my wing tank from Steen today. The welding is extremely tidy.

I will be soon learning to weld 4130, but wouldn't fancy tackling aluminum.


Tip from a local A&P: use some acetone with a drop of food coloring to test tanks for leaks. The coloring acts as a dye, and the extremely low viscosity of acetone means it will findthe smallestleak waybetter than gas.
