• 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.

Is it worth the cost / complexity / weight gain to use an oil accumulator for pre-oiling the engine before cold starts?
I can preheat in the hanger but when out and about it's gonna be a cold start to get back home.
Think Michigan 25-35 degrees - snow - wind - uncomfortable !!
I know some of you guys don't do cold but around here no cold - no fly. Besides, some of the coldest days around here are the most spectacular :)
Thank you,
