    • 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 am using RV/Whittman gear similar to the Pitts guys RV conversions; talking to a long time multi-builder, he mentioned to fit the wheel pants and leg fairings near the very end of the build, with the plane on the ground. Shouldn't the gear be bearing no weight, so the pants and leg fairings are in alignment with the airflow?
