• 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.

Hey everyone,
Quick question. I’m going to be welding (TIG) my rudder up shortly. I have a big cluster in the middle of the leading edge to do. Have any of you purposely edge set the leading edge in the opposite direction to account for the movement after the cluster is welded. The piece is 50” long, and I’m thinking about 3/16ths ought to do it. Just wondering what past people have done or would do differently again.
Thanks, Doug
