• 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.

Hey guys, I was able to hang my engine today and wanted to start installing electrics for it now. Unfortunately there are several clearance issues. I use the ACS heavy mounts but this shouldn't be an issue here. While I might be able to change the lower oil pickup fitting with a regular 90° piece, I fear serious problems with the clearance of the oil pan itself to the tubing of the engine mount.

How did this work with you others? Engine is a paralle valve IO-360 that has been converted to an AEIO-360EXP.
