• 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.

looking at a plane that was a multi time award winner at Oshkosh and Sun and fun back in 2000. The plane has airtex system covering and it was all clearcoated and buffed when complete for the shine. The rudder and elevator are starting to show some yellowing. The rest of the plane is perfect. I am trying to close a deal on the airplane and can't live with the yellowing. Is there an easy fix? Is the yellow just surface stuff that will buff out? I can't figure out why the rest of the plane is perfect and just the rudder and elevator show the yellow? There have not been any repair or repaint in these area's. At least that what I am told. I know the white can be resprayed and recleared but any easy fix?
