• 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.

Hey ya'll, We already know my crank is cracked, so do I buy a "tagged" used crank or pay a little extra for a new one. Overhaul shop says they have access to a .000/.000 tagged crank at $9k but when I press for details like part # and if the tag predates SB505 I get crickets. Airparts quoted $12k and several months lead time. Not worried about waiting as this is a long term project. Any thoughts on value of having a new crank if my widow has to get rid of this? Any and all thoughts welcome. Engine is an AEIO-360-B1G6 in a factory built certificated Great Lakes.
