• 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.



Wheel pants to tire clearance?

I have 5 x 5.00 Aero Classic tires and a set of Sam James wheel pants. It looks like about 3/4" all around clearance (sides, front and rear) is about right. (Mark 1 eyeball)

Just wondering if that is enough clearance. I will be flying off of grass in the future. Don't want to make the clearance so big that a small rock could get stuffed in there or too tight and a tire might rub.

What do the Vans- RV types do may be another way to ask this.

Thanks,

John H.
