• 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 found one of my wheel pants was loose. When I took it off, I found this broken plug in the axle. I can't seem to find anything like it online. What should I call it? Where can I find one? Should I consider a different material like aluminum? My first reaction was surprised that it was made of plastic, but then it occurred to me that probably a better failure point than the pant itself. I'll appreciate any help. The plane is down for annual anyway so no rush.
