• 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.

I just received a new engine mount ordered from Steen Aero for my AEIO-540 to be mounted on my Skybolt build. I am test fitting the new mount to my fuselage and engine. Fuselage side fits the mounting holes, but I cannot get the mount to fit the mount points on the engine side. I can get the top bushings in place with a bolt in but the bottom right side appears to be about 1/4" off center of the Lord mount holes. My previous mount was the same way and that's why I ordered this new one. Am I doing something wrong? I am sure Steen Aero uses a jig for the engine side and they should all be the same, correct? Somehow I think it is installer error but for the life of me I cant figure out what is going on.
