• 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.

Hello again all. Since I'm finally done with school, i now have time once again to work on my project! I have just finished todays work; hand sanding the gussets for the top wing ribs. My question to you is (while I realize they are just gussets), how exact do these things need to be? I am getting pretty d@$n close...but i want to make sure it is ok as is. It is tedious hand sanding, and i just want to make sure Im not getting lazy on myself! :). Id say the gussets have maybe 1/16" variation between them in lengths if sides. But all angles are spot on.
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question...

Thanx everyone! Couldn't get past GUSSETS without you!! :D
