• 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'm interested in why the Grove gear installation is deemed to be so problematic? My thought was that on a short geared airplane, wait until the bungies need changing ($300) and apply that to the $1800 cost of grove gear and solve two problems at once (taller gear and no further bungie replacements.
I've priced the tall gear from Steen ($1900) and the grove makes more financial sense.

Has anyone actually changed to the grove gear? Would love to hear the "gotchas" with that installation.
Best regards,
Brad
