• 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.

Spent the morning getting the engine runs done, changed the oil, cleaned/ rotated plugs. Got it all cowled, the sun was shining so it was time to fly it after seven months.

Went to lunch, when I came back there was a thunderstorm in the area, but looked like it might pass me by. Started cleaning the hanger, the rain started so I grabbed the tow bar and started rolling it into the hanger. My prop has to be with one blade down, two up to come into the hanger.

Damned if I got in a rush and pulled it in with one up. Heard the crunching noise and it was all over.

Already talked to Performance props, he said he could fix it.

Still....:mad:
