• 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.

I just read recently that Jimmy was thinking of putting a Turbo charged Ranger V12 in his Waco. I don't think it ever got past the idea stage??? Was any drawings done or engine mounts etc? Did he have a engine? I love to know the history of some of these things and with the Waco UPF being one of my favorites, Jimmy being a hero of mine and Rangers being awesome...id love to hear from someone that knows more of this project before he went with the P&W.
