    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 made my slave struts out of round tube per Hale Wallace. I know the Pitts are streamline with a stall strip on either side of them.

I was thinking about load on a 5/8" diameter round tube at 160 mph this morning and the load it puts on the hinge. Hmmm...

What's everyone else using?
