• 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.

Need to replace the flop tube in the sky bolt. It is 540 powered I ordered a flop tube from Spruce. Everything looks great except new one is 1/4 pipe and ID of hose and fitting is .205 . Unit I removed is 3/8 pipe and ID of hose and fitting is .285. . I reached out to Steen they advised they don’t make the flop tubes they come in the tanks they sell. My concern is with the smaller hose and fittings fuel flow will be reduced. Does anyone have a source for the flop tube that would match my old one?
Thanks, All
