    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • 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.

Tube pattern - main gear

Paper pattern on the left - test piece in the center - original tube that I made the pattern from on the right. The second tube I cut was a mirror image of the first. I used the first as a pattern by wrapping a sheet of paper around it and cutting off the overhang. Unwrapped the pattern and wrapped it in reverse on the test piece. Worked like a champ. Cut three hours (half the amount of time) to cut the second one.
