• 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.

As part of my research, I'm trying to get an accurate picture of the costs of buying/building a cowling for the M-14P radial on the front of a Skybolt R.












Would you make it from scratch from Aluminum? from Fiberglass? Would you buy a cowling off of a Yak or Sukhoi? get a Pitts 12 cowl?


Any info you guys can give me about the costs and/or procedures to buy/build a radial-engined cowling would be appreciated.


BTW, I'm dropping the news of my new airplane project on my family today...this ought to generate some interesting reactions (whadda you CRAZY or sump'in?)
