• 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.

The last time I looked at my compass, (something I rarely do) it was swinging back and forth through about 90 degrees with the airplane straight and level. I turned off the radios, alternator and battery with no change in behavior. It does not do that on the ground. I know when I installed it at that location it swung and performed normally a couple seasons ago. I have no glue how long it has been doing thks for.

Has anyone experienced this? I wonder if multiple G over the years broke it?

Thanks
