• 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 am a new Skybolt owner and my aircraft has an IO540 with inverted fuel/oil . The last owner changed the metal prop to a Catto 3 blade unit which resulted in some weight savings. Consequently, with only me in the aircraft I cant go below 30 pounds of fuel in the main tank without the C of G going out the aft limit. I have a rear mounted battery. Are there any resources available to show a forward mount for the battery.
Thanks
