• 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.

Does anybody have experience with an Eagle 540 for competition flying? I want to use an Eagle to compete up to Intermediate level. Have a possibility for a 540 engined Eagle II and wondered how they perform compared to the standard 360 Eagle. Is the spin characteristic much different? How does the weight and balance work out? Assuming the same max aerobatics weight of 1520lbs, what would be a typical basic empty weight with a 540 engine? Thanks for any information.
