• 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.

Last spring I chased down an oil leak that would really show itself after neg g flights. Turned out to be a split in the oil filler tube neck. Last fall I got another leak after neg g flights. This time I traced the bugger to the magneto vent hole. I pulled it Sunday and it was FULL of oil, and still working great. Off for a 500 hour inspection and new seals. It had 150 hours since the last 500 hour inspection. I guess I'll always be that guy with the the drippy engine. What's next?
