• 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 Everyone!! Long time lurker, finally registered.

I am at the stage of designing fuel. My skybolt was purchased with the main 29+/- gal tank with no baffles, should I make a header tank?
Is the main tank sufficient for akro at 29 gallons?
My plan is to have the Skybolt just for akro.
Should I install 9 gal wing tank for takeoff and flight to the practice area?
How long can I fly akro with the main tank?

Hopefully someone with this combination can chime in.


Thanks!!
