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,

Im planning on buying a new propeller for my stock Pitts S1S, 180HP and Sensenich 76EM8-0-62 propeller.

How do you Pitts S1S owners manage to keep the C&G in the envelope with a ligher prop? Change battery and placement?

Im thinking of a Hercules Aerobatic Propeller or a MT 186R-160, both weights in at 5,5kg (12 lbs) compared to 15,6kg (34,5 lbs) for the Sensenich prop.


Thanks for any advice
