    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 am putting a 1970s Smith back together and want to do a few updates. I'd like the option of a closed canopy for cold weather use (I live in Michigan). I'd also like to have the option of a small baggage compartment for trips. I'm thinking of replacing the turtledeck with a hinged aluminum structure that will flop over and allow access to the area above the cables behind the seat.

Has anyone done this?
