• 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.

Just a quick FYI, I bought the Christen inverted oil system that is listed on Barnstormers for $1500. Got it in the mail and was preparing to refinish it but found the air/oil separator tank was cracked along one of the bung welds. On the side of the bung opposite the crack, the tank had a dent making it look like someone really overtightened the fitting in the bung. Everything looked unused so maybe it was just dropped, I don't know, but it was cracked.

On top of that, the seller sent everything in a box that was too small without wrapping or padding anything and the receipt that was tucked in the instruction manual was dated 1998 so, used or unused, the hoses are 24 years old.

Just thought someone here might see the ad and be interested in it so consider yourselves warned! :)
