• 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.

As I recall, the "Building the Acro Sport" book recommends waiting to order flying wires till you have the airframe assembled so you can measure the lengths off your airframe instead of going by the plans. I can see the sense in that, but if a person is careful to build to the plans dimensions, how likely is it that the wire lengths on the plans will be wrong?

I'm nowhere near needing wires, but there's a set for sale on Barnstormers that looks like a significant discount. If there's not a big risk that they wouldn't fit, they might as well be sitting around with the rest of the parts that I haven't touched for 30 years. :)
