A pre-flight heads up item and annual check point. On our Bill Harvey build Classic (N298H) annual we found a cracked engine baffel adjacent to the oil cooler. Our baffel system appears to be sometihng from Van's originally . The part supporting the oil cooler is a weak spot. Thanks to our fearless leader Pres. Orear We now have a modified bracket and a support arm for better support and vibration dampening. A series of photos is attached. Yes, the plug wires are just fed through the back and have not been properly set up. Sorry for having them in the way.

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. 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.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. 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.
