    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 have poured through all of the Skybolt interior photos I can find looking for the brackets for the trap doors. Right now we have two brackets to mount the sheet metal. It seems to me there should be a third in between but nowhere in photos can I find any sign of one. I don't want to add steel if it is unnecessary. You guys with finished Skybolts, what did you do?

Below is a pic of the general trap door installation and another pic of the two brackets we have now.

cheers,
Jim
