• 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 am at a point where I need to decide what gear the plane is having (Groves or bungie).


My question: I still have the old shorter stylegear from the salvaged pile of bits...if I went the bungie route, it is very tempting to just slap on this existing gear and be done with it...


can someone please talk me out of this madness :-O :0)


I know allthe reasons why the gear was changed, I just need to know if the later gear style is a significant improvement, and how bad really is the old gear...
