• 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.

Hey folks, just a friendly reminder to keep an eye on your oil lines.

The line pictured goes from the accessory case to the oil cooler, it was wrapped in fire sleeve and had somehow become twisted/pinched. It was starting to leak but had not gotten bad enough to be seen from outside the fire sleeve. I was lucky I found it before it got worse.

Probably would never happen to any of you, but it was a good reminder to me,
Just to keep a close eye on things.
