• 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.

Following my landing gear conversion, I'll be re-attaching and rigging the wings of my Skybolt. This will hopefully occur in the next several months. A few questions for the hive mind:

1. Is there a particular sequence for removing the wings? Just the reverse of assembly instructions?
2. When re-attaching, is it good enough to use the currently installed spacers as a starting point? Or does it save more time in the long run to just start from scratch?
3. Does anyone have rigging boards they are willing to lend (happy to pay shipping both ways)?
4. Finally, and potentially the most useful - Is there anybody local-ish to NM that has experience rigging who would be willing to help?
