• 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.

Just a note that we had an MT two-blade prop that was on a brand new (five years old but only 40 hours) Great Lakes throw a blade last week. Pilot somehow got it back to airport in one piece. MT is coming in to investigate. Pulled the blade right off the lag bolts. If it had been a heavier Hartzell I would have expected it to yank the engine off the airplane.

This is all the info I have on it.
