    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.

My new Smith project has 6 X 6 wheels on it . I think I'm going to stay with the 6's but I know nothing about the type . Casting on them say Hayes and they are small drum brakes . I'm looking them up to find out more on them and they appear to be a duplicate of the Goodrich wheel and brake . My other two Smith's have 5'' with discs and I don't want to rob them from my other goings on . Trying to keep this one simple and not change everything as temptations lurk . I don't mind the size and can go with a smaller diameter tire and AcroSport II pants . I'm sure some of you here have delt with this wheel and brake set up so I'm open to being educated . Any info at all would forward what I know at this point , and if anyone on the forum here has a set of the Acro II pants , reasonably priced , I might be in . This krap is breakin me quick . Thanx šŸ’
