• 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.

Would ya'll use a Lycoming crankshaft that had failed the 505 inspection? There are some for sale out there that say "good for experimental or airboat" etc. I assume the sellers are talking about cranks that have pits but have no cracks? They do not make that clear. Obviously $1200 is easier to budget than $5500 but.....

Would you run one in a sport plane; i.e. no aerobatics?
