• 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'm close to making a decision on the system to be used to cover my airplane. I've reviewed all the Stewart System DVD's and like the ease of covering with the waterborne glue and low VOC. It all looks good right up to the final paint gloss results. The gloss is no where as high as Poly Fiber or Randolph. Any experience with these methods, having used one or more would be much appreciated. Also all of these suppliers state that their primers, glues, ect. must be used due to incompatibility with other products. Is this in reference to STC compliance or are the truly incompatible ? I'm not building a showboat but would like the end results to be proud worthy as well as Airworthy!
