• 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.

If you are buying an engine mount from Steen Aero, be aware that they jig the 4 corners of the mount to be 29 1/8" wide. As a result, the mounting spools will fit OK at the bottom corners of station 0 on the fuse, but the "V" tubes that are welded at the top corners may interfere. My advice is to fit the "V" tubes "wide" at the top so that the spools will fit up against the vertical tubes at station 0. The "V" tubes in the picture are fitted on the centerline but will have to be notched to allow the engine mount spools to fit in the corners.
