• 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 installed antennas in the tip bows of my lower wings, and always planned to use the aluminum leading edges to provide the ground plane. Now it appears there are some real advantages to the ply leading edges. Is anyone flying with wingtip antennas and ply leading edges? Do you get acceptable range/performance from the VOR? Anyone else's experience would be appreciated.
