• 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.

Hello all,

I have searched and found quite a bit of info on wood leading edges. My question for those who have retrofitted: Did you reduce the size of the rib by 1/16th as well as the thickness of the filler piece between the ribs? Thus allowing a smooth transition between the new leading edge material and the existing rib.

Thanks for your time.

Dave
