    • 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.

Got the center section uncovered, and have found some crack like things at the butt ends of the aft spar. Also in the same place on one wing spar. Thinking perhaps wood shrink? Fairly lined up with a bolt hole for the attach angles. Wondering if anyone has dealt with this, and if so how?
