• 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.

These wheels came with a Baby Great Lakes fuselage I bought. Can I simply remove the drum and replace it with an attachment that holds a disc? I guess another way to ask it is, are wheels standard and can you just swap components at will?

If I can just buy the caliper (which, I assume, just bolts onto the gear along with the axle), the disc, and whatever connects the disc to the wheel, then I'll probably just keep these wheels (along with axles, bearings, et al.).

Thanks,
Jay
