• 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 am getting ready to seal up the fuel tank in the upper wing center section and a couple questions come to mind.I purchased the upper wing tank from Steen Aero Labs. Is it necessary to "slosh" and or pressure test this tank? And how are the openings in the upper and lower plywood skins (filler cap, feed line and vent) sealed up. I have got maybe 1/8" or so gap around these openings. Grommets? silicone ? fabric? Nothing at all?
