• 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 have gotten all of my body and cowling panels fitting pretty well. Two of the cowl panels were worked on an English Wheel to get them to lay in place. Problem is I can feel small variations in the panel's smoothness. They "look" fine but to the touch there are small highs and lows running lengthwise. Will they show in the finish paint? Anyone use filler and block sand? More work on the English wheel? Any thoughts??
