• 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 am seeing some mixed signals on which way the main and starter contactors should be mounted, with some of the datasheets silent. I am planning to reuse the old ones and buy a little more avgas.

I am pretty sure what I want is + Gs to close the main and open the starter contactor which to me says the little hat on the main is up and on the starter is down.

Am I right? Whats the consensus on this.
