    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.

Anybody seen this technique used? From the EAA experimenter.

" George ........... and he offered me a bit of a tip that I haven’t come across
yet—mixing graphite with epoxy to provide a long-lasting smooth bearing
surface for the control torque tube. Hemixed a spreadable batch and
applied it to both surfaces and then pressed them lightly together with
wax paper between as a parting agent. "
