• 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 know the skybolt calls for 3/16 in ply which is no longer available.
I see alot of guys have laminated 1/8 and 1/16 to get the correct thickness....


Looking at the firebolt plans it only shows an 1/8 ply wing walk. I also think the orginal model 12 had 1/8 wing walk...


Is that enough??? Would be nice to save wieght with thinner ply. Just dont want to step through it either.


Thanks
Bill
