• 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.

Well maybe not of all wings. Just mine.....

Looks like not done by Osh Kosh but pretty much ready to paint. Mostly.

Just completed wing root fairings. Upper part of the wing root fairing started from some carbon fiber layups of that Dan Salcedo made for me from his molds (Thanks Dan!). I extended them to wrap around the front of the wing. I probably didnt have to do that but it seemed easier than making the bottom come up to the top. The bottom parts all started with some vacuum bagged carbon fiber plates I made. The back piece is like 7 layers so it is pretty rigid. Anyway, I think they look pretty good anyway.
