• 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 have made an assumption about wing washout on the lower wing of a biplane and could use some input and help from you guys.

The KT Coed has an aerodynamic twist built into the wings from 0 deg to 1.5 deg on the 3 end tip ribs shown on the rib drawings. This wing is cantilever and so there are no wires to rig and no way to change once set. Sounds great and the concept is sound for reducing tip stalls.

But on a biplane....?
I have made the assumption this washout would also be the case for the lower wing with the ailerons but then realized I have no evidence for or against this.

Any thoughts?

David
