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 have one! OK, it's only a Harbor Freight special, but it seems to be adequate for aluminum, so far. The HB english wheel had a bad rap for quality in the past, but they changed their design a couple of years ago, and this one seems to not have the typical poor quality flaws the previous one had. I just bought the rubber band thing for the upper wheel; this allows you to stretch and curve in 2D rather than 3D. Not bad for $250.
