• 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.

Hi Folks,

we have a MT MTV-9 Three Blade Prop installed on our Eagle. After every flight we notice some grease coming out of the blade root bearing. The prop has around 800 hours and is well over calender TBO. We are thinking about an overhaul but not sure because the prop works still very well with no other issues.

Any suggestions about wether we should do an overhaul or not? What can happen as worst case if we leave it on. How can we get sure about when the time is come to overhaul it?

Cheers,
Manuel
