• 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.

Hi you all,


I am making all ribs for my Skybolt. In upper and lower wing the space between spars is all covered with 1/16 plywood. My question is if I need to drill/drain holes in lower bays of rib before I close it with the other ply?


I enclose photo so you can see the blue points where I am thinking of drilling.
