• 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.

Hi,
I am a newbee in this area, co please forgive me my ignorance in the art of Bi-Planes.

I would like to replace the standard IO 360 A1D with fixed pitch prop with a
Franklin 220 and an IvoProp Magnum three blade constant Speed (yep, they have that now for less than $3k. It includes the Variable Pitch prop and an electric governor).
The folks at IvoProp claim that it could be easily used for aerobatic applications.
Any comments, recommendations, criticism are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Avi.
