• 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.

I thought sure this question would be the most popular on the site but after due diligence I've been unable to find it so; there you go.

How light can you make an 0-320 conical FWF? (I'm not eager to build a motor mount!)
Mags not EI
No vacuum pump of course
Very small alternator
Ellison TB I think or Rotec
Skytec starter
Odyssey tiny battery or etc.
Oil cooler no doubt probably maybe
Catto or Performance Prop maybe too; it depends on W&B

Replacing a O-290G4

I'm the runt of the litter so gross weight is not a problem but I'm hesitant to hang another O-290 on there even though I've found a good one. Starduster One

Thanks for the help....even opinions are OK
Dan
