• 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.

We have a lovely Steen Skybolt with a 200hp fuel injected engine. It's the first time we have looked at chaning the bungees, and were surprised to find 3 on each side. There's no doubt that the suspension has been stiff, almost too stiff landng on our bumoy grass field, which makes it a bit hoppy if you don't get the speed absolutely right.

So, should we be using 2 or 3? What are the rights and wrongs of it, and has anyone run the bolt on 2 for any time?
