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).

When it comes to taking the wires loose, I am assuming that it would be done:

1. De-tension the Flying wires. Perhaps one turn each until slack?
2. De-tension landing wires a little (maybe half the turns of the flying)
3. Remove I-Struts

My plane has only the one large washer at each I-Strut spot with the exception of the right lower rear, which has 3 standard washers on top of the large diameter washer.
