• 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.

Fellow Eagle drivers,

it turned out to be a good decision to thoroughly inspect my new Eagle prior to reassembly after pulling him out of the container. I found a longeron cracked at the right gear leg. So long story short: To do the SB317 work I need to remove the engine. I'm wondering if it might be possible to hang the complete engine section FWF including the prop (Hartzell 2-blader) onto an engine hoist via that standard lug on the top of the crankcase. What do you think?

Regards,
Tom
