• 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.

It sucks big time! 245 hrs since last problem. Now it seems it has shave in oil.. tiny chunks that sticks to the mag. Wtf? Started with Washing the press screen, some magnetic glinsing metall dust/flakes. 3 pcs 1/16 inch in suction screen. Opened the press relief valve and as shown on picture... so i got about 5 or 8 chunks like the coarse on the pic. 245 hrs since rebuilt cam installed and all inventory checked after first flight in 2009 when also chunks where found. Right now i do not like lycoming engines....
