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.

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.

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.

So I said I'd start a thread when we got going on this. We are now deep into it. Starting point...

Tearing into the leading edge to figure out the damage...

Luckily other than a couple of minor scratches, the spar has no cracks or chunks missing. We even used a borescope on the wing root fittings to check for cracks there and it all looked good.
