• 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.

Hello! I have a 150hp Pitts S-1C that i am restoring. I currently have a Metal Sensenich 74DM6-0-54 prop, and I would like to change to a wooden prop.

Vibration characteristics, weight hanging on the crankshaft, nostalgia, and looks are among the reasons why I want to make this switch. If i had a pumped up 200hp S-1S/T i would consider a catto or some other composite but that is not the case.

1) Has anyone used a propeller from New Zealand company 'Aero Performance Propeller'?
2) If yes, was your experience with the prop on something aerobatic?
3) What airframe and engine combination was it?
4) What are some common options for prop sizes/pitches on an o-320 Pitts S-1C
