• 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 need to find a good (and maybe even simple) way to rid the inside of my fuselage of oil that entered courtesy of a blown oil cooler. For the past two days, it's leaked out the tail wheel area into a nice puddle.
I was told I could use a siphoning type cleaninggun

Does anyone have any ideas on how to tackle this clean-up?
thanks and best regards,
Brad
