• 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.

There are several propeller choice threads here which have lead me to get a quote for a new MTV-9-B-C/C203-46 from MT to hang on the front of my AEIO 540 For my Skybolt. Once I recovered from the minor heart attack from the price, I am still leaning towards it. My logic is that sometimes the most expensive solution is the cheapest one.

Pros:
No maintenance surprises
Proven
I have zero experience in assessing a used prop and searching for a used one is not my idea of fun.

Con’s:
Cost
36 week wait

Let me know your thoughts.
