• 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 completed Pober Super Ace project, Lycoming 0-235 powered, is two inches out of the CG envelop, aft. Weight added to Firewall forward, metal prop, harmonic prop balancer, lead on engine case, etc is an unreasonable, useless Dead weight ( 55 lbs !) Extended engine mount of an additional 14 inches, would still make it only "close" and look.....ridiculous.
Is it possible to "add" a lower wing so that the plane could become a biplane and the CG in balance ?
