• 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 have noticed strong exhaust fumes inflight with my S-1. I have the tucked cowl with dual exhausts exiting just in front to the bottom plexiglass.

There are several areas that allow exhaust in the cockpit and I am curious to how others have sealed them:

The biggest is where the fuel sump on the bottom of the wobble pump exits the floor pan. there is easily a 3/4-1 inch gap around this.

The second largest holes appear to be around the gear mounts (I have spring gear).

There are a few other holes that will be easy to address.

Thanks for your insight.
