    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.

The Pitts factory even screws up on the KP4 bearing housing fit after welding arms on.
Even a little extra press fit makes the bearing drag.
i put the 1" end in the vice and hand reamed the housings for a perfect fit!
i found this obvious reamer made for the job at a surplus price with free shipping.
