• 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.

Low static, high oil temp and low oil pressure turn out to be minor around the edge issues....... I had originally intended to change oil, cut filter/inspect suction screen the first time I got the temp. up but waited and went off in left field because I was out of oil/filters.
Well it doesn't matter because after inspecting the suction screen there is no need to put any oil back.

I started taking the engine apart today. Depending on now bad it looks, I may decide to rebuild it but still won't know if it will have enough poop to be worth while? I flew the old Tu-holer today and I'm liking it more than more. I suspect a decent Acroduster airframe and a pile of HIO360 parts may soon be for sale?

Thanks for the help.

Jack
