• 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.

Hi,
My airplanes rear cockpit has a conventional cable driven tach running to the Lyc. O-320-A1A engine.

The front cockpit has a tach that doesn't work and that I want to replace. The wiring from this tach was previously removed.

What 2-1/4" tach can I replace it with? And how is the RPM measured from the engine? I found several electric tachs in A.C.S. but they all reference use with specific ignition systems. Can someone help me out on a from tach solution for my plane?

Thanks,
Glenn
