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.

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've commented before about the horrendous barn door ailerons on my Tu-holer. I've thought about a new aileron design? But I'm not really interested in an increased roll rate although that wouldn't hurt. My main goal would be to reduce the effort needed. So why not Spades?

If I did add spades, how big?

If not spades what would be the pro/con of maybe servo tabs on ailerons?
