• 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.

...well, I'm tired of posting about it! Here's where I stand with the wires:

Right Wing
-.1* dihedral on the top with the following tensions

Rear back flying (RBF) - 450
Rear front flying (RFF) - 500
Back landing (BL) - 700
Front landing (FL) - 850 :-(
Front back flying (FBF) - 300
Front front flying (FFF) - 350

Left Wing
-.1* dihedral

RBF - 500
RFF - 500
BL - 750
FL - 775
FBF - 250 :-(
FFF - 300

Center section is .07 right side low

How do I make it better, start over again? Should I fly it and see how things settle out? All advice welcome!
