• 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.

Tied-up the loose ends(mostly) and fired her up....finally. No leaks, good oil pressure and everything w orks, even both mags once you attach them to ALL the spark plugs. I had it ready to start and didn't like the plug wire routing since w/o cowl and baffles they would be flopping around. I did everything but running the nuts down on 2/4 bottom plugs. I have a digital tach that flashes when it detects a problem, the engine seemed to run ok but one mag wasn't firing 100%. I'll post picts after I reduce their size.
