• 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'm looking at an O-470R powered Skybolt with a constant speed prop, pressure carb and inverted oil (30sec), 800 SMOH. Bird was built in '84, recovered in '08. What's the consensus on this airframe/engine combo? I'm a bit concerned about the empty weight (don't know that number yet). I live in the mountains (field elevation 6550'), so I could use a little extra power...
