• 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.

Have any of the guys doing Radial Skybolts put together comparison of purchase, overhaul and operating costs for the M-14P and the IO-540? How about props?


This will make the biggest difference between the build-buy decision assuming I get a ride in a 260hp Skybolt.


Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
