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 picked up this Sighting Device and I'm modifying it for the Skybolt.
I lengthened it 14" (not shown in these photos) and want to add an extra support.

I attached two pics with a couple rough ideas. Please let me know what you think. I'm leaning towards the extra support strap but the single angled support would be a lot easier.

I'm open to other ideas as well.

Thanks...
