• 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.

My Skybolt in "extended" inverted flight has decided to RUN HOT (Oil Temp) as soon as I roll upright the oil Temp goes down.. Upside down it was up to 233 degrees and right side up on the "Alabama" side of 200, say 190.. My CHTs were about the same, or not noticeably higher. I know the cowl is designed for level flight, but all of your planes are, Is anyone experiencing such? Any EASY fix? I haven't noticed any Louvers in the Top of Cowls..

Thanks in advance..
