• 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 just found out that a company in Spain makes new wood/composite blades. They make them for every application from RVs to Spitfires. They make the blade to use on your old hartzell hub etc. I think alot of YAK guys have used them on there M14p engines. Any experience with these? They claim to beable to produce a lighter weight better performing blade that doesn't cause the vibration issues and weight issues of aluminum blades. Ideal for my application as I'd beable to still use a controlable propeller system (bladder system and Hub) from Hartzell but have new blades that won't put so much stress on my engines center bearing and crankshaft in general. Any thoughts? Ohhhh also the price is still in there air to see if its even an option.
