• 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 have a 1997 eagle with 800 hours on it. I have owned it for a year. Just finishing a long annal that included inspecting and releasing the canopy. Logs never show it being done. The previous owner had an iFly 700 gps he mouned on a ram mout. The ball was held on the canopy cross tube that the release mechanisms goes through. That clamp exerted enough pressure to bind the emergecy release mechanism to where it would not work. Moved freely after the clamp was removed. It was not excessivley tight. I guess beware what you clamp up there or test it if you do
