• 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 am not a builder, only an owner of an Acro II with original fabric from 1982, so my knowledge is limited. I knew when I bought this plane that I may be recovering it, but given the low time engine, I was hoping to fly it a bit first. this "blistering" just showed up one day. The plane is stored dry and I've never gotten it wet. I've attached a picture of the builder's logbook to help answer questions of fabric & finish type. I looked into the inspection 1 rib over and couldn't see anything obviously wrong. The same is true for the under side of the wing also.
