• 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.

Trying to settle on an engine, I like the economy and simplicity of the parallel valve 180 HP O-360. I intend to do only limited aerobatics, primary or sportsman at most. My main game will be sharing the joy of flight within my region and an occasional cross country (couple times a year maybe 800 nm or less). However, I do not want an under-powered aircraft. Can someone who has flown both the 180 hp 260 hp 'Bolts give a review?? Will the 180 be sufficient or...?

Thanks,
DeatZ
