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.

Has anyone ever had the challenge of rigging an airplane that doesn't require the use of feet. My thoughts are a twist grip throttle that operates the rudder. I always think mechanically so my first thoughts were cable operated thru a horn and belcrank. But to get enough throw the amount of twisting force would be tremendous. Then went to electronically similar to how a newer Citation's ailerons are but $$$.
