    • 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.

Hello everyone.
Would any of you have installed gas shock absorbers (damper) alongside the bungees to avoid bouncing on landing due to pilot incompetence (like me) ?
I'm currently restoring my father's plane to flying condition and if it's possible to make the modification, now's the time :)

Best regards
Hervé
