• 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.

My Eagle's engine has a front prop governor mount. Unfortunately, it is seeping some oil. I have removed the governor, cleaned the gasket surfaces, and reinstalled, but after last night's flight, there still appears to be some oil getting out. It might be coming from one of the studs, I'm not sure. Any special tricks to keeping these from leaking?
