• 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 new to the forum. My dad and I just finished building a Glastar and now that it is flying we couldn't resist another project. We purchased a well along skybolt project. Although we have an 0360 engine mount we have decided to go with the 260hp. My question is this: Which model number and specifics should we look for for our Skybolt? We want to be fully aerobatic, so IO is important and obviously we need an inverted sump. Where should we look, and which specific model number would be ideal? We went outside the proverbial box with our engine installation on our Glastar and we have paid the price. We want a straight forward installation with the ideal engine.
