• 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.

My son and I (both engineers) were talking about getting a few more H/P out of a Lycoming powerplant and we happened upon the idea of using a Mercedes 'Kompressor' that is used in the C-230. My C-230 ate its Kompressor (a Mercedes trade name) and I have the casing for mounting design and prototyping .

Soo, what is my question???:confused:

How much leaway do we have, as 'Experimental' builders, in modifying firewall forward to this extent?
