• 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.

I am looking at purchasing a Christian Eagle II. Plane hasn't been flown in over 10 years, but I have a friend that is going through the annual. I have 2 concerns:

1. Plane has no log books. What kind of value would you put on a Christian Eagle II built in 1985 with no log books.

2. It has a IO-360 A1A mounted on it. The engine was manufactured in 1974 and was originally on a Mooney. Good compressions, but the A1A doesn't have the beefier crank. I'm not too concern with it, since I will not be competing, but what does it do to the value of the plane.

Thanks for your help.

Sam
