• 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 bought a 2010 Eagle, G-KLAW, last Tuesday and it's fantastic. One thing it doesn't have is a fuel dip stick.
I guess I need to drain the tanks but I'm at about 80 litres and don't have enough cans. I want to go tomorrow with an instructor for some Aeros and he wants to do weight and balance but I can't measure fuel. Is there any measurements I could use on a distick or should I fully drain the fuel and add it back in to calibrate? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
