• 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.

POSTING THIS AS A REPRINT FROM BUDD D: don't know how to start a new thread but I wanted to get the word out on the Forum about an MT prop failure we had here in AZ last weekend. A two-blade MT on a new production Great Lakes threw a blade. The pilot magically made it back to the airport. If it had been a Harzell, I'm certain the engine would have been yanked off but the MT was light enough the pilot said everything became a blur but he got it back.

I think this needs to go on the forum, so everyone can see it, but I don't know how to do that.
