• 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.

Question: I am mounting the cooler off of the LH rear baffle like the RV-guys and a lot of other oil cooler installations. The cooler is mounted in four places with adel clamps to the engine mount, and the outlet from the engine baffle to the cooler gives one about 3" of scat tube flex, I think it is enough for engine movement? The conical mound does not allow the engine to move much, unlike the dynafocal engine mounts, and my experience has been the engine rocks around the most during shut down. This is mocked up and tacked together will finish weld next. Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated. Dave
