• 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.

What do you guys think of putting a turbine on a skybolt.A friend of mine has "0" time walter 601A engines at 695hp.It sounds like that would be too much for a skybolt.You could put a throttle stop on them but I think it would be too inefficient.Turbines are most efficient at WOT.
Also what about the 270hh Lyc go-470-b?
