• 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.

Putting the drive gear back on a magneto. Bendix 6ln something. As most of you know the gear can go on 2 ways. If you put it on wrong the slots in the ears that hold the mag on the engine will not allow the mag to be turned enough to time it. So pull the mag, remove cotter, remove gear, turn gear 180 degrees, reinstall. With my luck and a 50 50 chance it will be wrong. It is a half tooth difference. Small dot on one tooth. I had a pic but I can't find it, may my phone spend eternity in hell. Anyone have a pic?
