• 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.

After having a mag failure after 1200 hrs and learning that they should be inspected/rebuilt every 500 hours

I realized that I need a more detailed maintenance schedule

Rather than start from scratch I thought I'd see if anybody had a maintenance schedule

Thinks I know
- Eagle Condition Condition Inspection Checklist
- Transponder every 2 years
- ELT Test & batteries annual
- Oil Change every 25 hours
- Other basic visual inspection / maintenance annually
- Unique Maintenance requirements for Whirlwind Prop
- Now know about Magneto Maintenance every 500 hours
- Verify "off position" of magneto key switch every 100 hours

I imagine there are more items I should add to my list

Thanks in advance for any recommendations
