• 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.

During run up I noticed that about half the time when I pulled the prop governor lever back the rpms did not drop. I had to push it back in and try pulling it back again.

The prop would always go back when I pushed the rod in but would not always come out when i pulled it back.

Is this just a governor spring issue or is the governor itself starting to go out?

Thank you
