    • 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.

Trying to come up with a trim control that was easy to move but wouldn't creep in flight. Worked this out with a spring loaded pin that rides along in the handle and drops into little detents as you move it. Works easy and it takes a good deal of force at the balance tab to make it jump a detent.

It did take a little time with a rotary table in a mill. Fun to make though.
