• 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.

Hi,


I am writing you from Spain. A friend of mine is having lots of problems with his S-1D since he can not fly in summer time due to high temperatures.


He has no problem at cruise but if he wants to fly aerobatics, big risk due to high oil temp in his pitts.


Since he does not speak english, he has asked me if I can do some research on how you guys that fly in hot areas have solved this problem.


I have done a search in the forum before asking but have not found any related message.


By the way, I think he has standard S-1 kit, Lycoming AEIO-360, fix prop and have found only this picture of the nose......
