• 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 removing the smoke system from my S2E. (Too messy and too heavy.) I want to weld closed the holes in the exhaust for the injector nozzles. (They are now plugged with a flush rivet held in by a hose clamp.) The holes are about 4 inches below the exhaust flange.

I will have to take the exhaust to a welding shop. Is there anything special I should let them know before the welding starts? I'm not going to have problems with the flange warping, am I? Should I just leave the rivets in?
