• 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 finished installing firesleeve and a new ignition harness last weekend.

Firesleeve was the aerospace spec'd sleeve sold through McMaster. Ends were sealed using High Temp orange silicone. Sleeving was attached to the hoses using .041" safety wire via the Clamp-Tite tool. (the clamp is located over the hose fittings on the hose assembly, not over the hose itself).

The Ignition Harness is from Kelly Aerospace.
