• 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.

For my Skybolt;
My new replacement cylinders arrived and are installed.
These are the ones that have the access for the injectors. (the old ones didn't)
I have installed the flow divider and the nozzles and now I need to bend tube (the fuel lines).
The lines between the divider and nozzles need to be formed and fitted.

Questions:
-Are there any photo's out there of existing set ups that can help me?
-Is there anything special to bend the tubes with? or do I use bare strength.
I would hate to kink the tube at the bend!
-Do I need to purchase a turbine flow meter transducer?
What is the benefit of a flow meter? (apart from letting me know how much gas I am consuming)
If there are tips on this install that can help out = greatly appreciated.

A couple of photo's to show what I have so far.
Thanks.
