• 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.

OK dont know if im crazy or not but i have a pretty substantial oil leak that happens only inverted.... I can fly all day long right side up,, dry as a bone.. comming from somewhere in the accessory section. I removed the "swivle" fitting and replaced the O rings, cleaned the slobber tank, reseated the balls in the 3 way valve, still there..i washed the area and flew it did a roll to inverted over the airport for 10 seconds but by time im back on the ground the wind had blown the oil all over so its not easy to pinpoint the actual leak... just wondered if anyone has had this in the past,,, thx in advance,, tom in indy
