• 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.

Folks, new to the BiplaneForum, but not new to the Marquart Charger.

Owned a sweet one years ago, N82ND from 1993-1997; bought it from a retired Eastern captain, the late Bob Tisdale. He bought it from the builder, Richard Shutt, and flew it to Griffin, GA from Riverside, CA (at least I think that's right.)

82ND had/has an O-360 in it. Found during my first condition inspection that the engine mount ring was for an O-320 and the -360 was just kind of bolted on there. Had a proper ring fitted by Kosola in Albany, GA. Also, the Ole Fahlin prop was used up (made a nice wall clock!) so I went with a nice Aymar-DeMuth.

Anyway....short story long, after going through a Pitts S-1T and an RV-3, I wish I'd not succumbed to the "grass is always greener" itch and just kept "Old Eastern." So....back in the market looking for a MA-5.

If anyone decides to sell, keep me in mind.

Cheers,
Randy
