• 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.

Thanks to all that responded to me about the conversion of my 0360 a4k to an IO. I called Lycoming and got the necessary info and now have an AEIO sump with verticla servo. Worked out great.


Now I am trying to decide on the battery type and placement. I noticed in Neil's pictures that his is on the firewall. Is there a reason to not install it behind the rear seat that I don't know. I have a metal prop rather than wood and I thought installing the battery behind the rear seat would help with the CG. I also hate to use up all the firewall area since I have a Christian system and hate to put all that heat on the battery. Any suggestions or pictures on ways others have installed theirs?
