• 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.

I have a Skybolt built in the '80s and need to install a transponder and encoder. I've found the static system all nicely connected up to the instruments - and then the tube runs down into the belly where it flops around. Since the static system will have to be tested to certify the encoder, I think I really need to install proper static ports (the pitot tube is only pitot and changing it out would be impossible) but I'm having trouble deciding where to place them. Any suggestions?
