• 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.

While this isn't something I would expect to see on one of our biplanes, I thought some of you may find it interesting. We are building a Glasair for a customer to put this engine on. I just have to build a mount, cowling and,and....

It is a liquid cooled V6 of 195 cubic inches (3.2 liter) is turbo charged and it is supposed to produce as much as 400+ HP. Smaller and lighter, even with all the cooling attachments, than a 540 Lycoming. Built in South Africa.
