• 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.

Hello everyone,
I'm building a highly modified S1S and am putting a whirlwind 200C prop and govenor. My issue is the space between the case and the firewall. The govenor that whirlwind offers is the shortest that I know of (5 inches). I have 3.25 inches. I'm looking for options. If I cut a hole in the firewall I will have to shorten the fuel tank and how would i get a controll cable to it.Aside to changing the case, that's the only thing I can think of to resolve my dilema. I'm looking to see if any of you have any better ideas or help explain to me how i should proceed before I start cutting a hole in the firewall.


Thanks!
Blake
