• 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.

My Champ didn't sell in time for my relocation flight, so I'm renting a carport hangar for N645LC to live in while I deal with the Champ after my return. Harvey Field requires that I have cowl plugs to cover the air inlets, but the current owner of the Charger doesn't have any. I don't know if anyone makes pre-made plugs for the wide "gaping mouth" cowling on this Charger, so I'm thinking of just making my own. Anyone have recommendations on either premade plugs, or what's a good material for this? I'm tempted to just get some box store 2" insulating foam and shave that down to fit until I can find a better solution, but I'd love to hear thoughts if there's something better around.
