• 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.

Photo of Baby lakes wing tip bow and spar taper at wing tip.

I want to add another outboard rib to wing tip to create a "lifting bay" instead of the taper to bow.
Would this additional full size rib make any difference to the wings lift?....wing area remains approx the same.

Can I just glue a wedge of spar material onto spar to rebuild spar taper back to full size?
