    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.

I just acquired an 870 hr Skybolt. I noted that the elevator throw is only down 15 degrees/up 25. I think that perhaps the elevator hinge was welded incorrectly, as the down stop hits the horizontal tube. I don't see a way to adjust it. Can anyone help out here? If it is truly limited to 15 degrees down is it safe to spin, etc as that is almost half of the spec of 27 degrees.
Thanks
new guy
