• 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.



Anyone use ECI's experimental cylinders?

I am doing a major overhaul on the 540 in my Eagle right now. I was going to get my cylinders overhauled but looking at prices it is not very much more to buy new. I know my cylinders have been overhauled before and run hard so not sure how good they are.
Eci offers a experimental cylinder that they say flows better and I can get it with a 9:1 piston which is much more reliable than the 11:1's I had. The cylinders will have warrenty. If I buy a certified cylinder and put in a 10:1 or something the warrenty goes. Anyway I am about to bite the bullet and buy something new in a few weeks. Anyone run these? Any input?
