• 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'd like to hear some opinions on using high compression pistons. Im debating on sticking with the stock 8.5 or going higher.

I like the idea of being able to blend auto gas blend in a pinch but since Ill be running 100LL 99% of the time Im thinking why not get a couple HP out of it?

I have to buy pistons for the overhaul anyway so the cost difference is minimal. This is for an S1S that will see a lot of acro. Any opinions on the different brands out there?
