• 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.

Certified airplane (Twin Comanche) both engines #3 cylinder is always substantially lower than the rest. The air intake is located in that rear baffle immediately behind #3. It is a 21/2-3" hole for the intake. I suspect this attributes to the colder cylinder. Any suggestions on how to raise the temps without reducing the intake air available? Winter CHT on both #3 can struggle to get 200F at cruise. I haven't any problems in 500hrs of use, but my OCD is struggling. :)
